Can anyone point me in the direction of an authoritative source of information on whether or not there is the potential for the ozone emitted by photocopiers and other office machinery to represent a significant health hazard?

I understand that there is a product on the market called 'Nozone' that is used to neutalise the ozone hazard. Does anyone have information on this or similar products?

Any info. would be gratefully received.

Ozone from photocopiers should not be a problem unless the filters are not changed at least annually.

Not aware of any authoritative guidance but see the previous posting on this subject - search (on the left hand side), put in 'ozone' as keyword, select 'year' and see previous postings appear. At the bottom should be 'Photocopiers'.

Denis,
There is an HSE publication = Ozone - Publication EH38 (price £4.00)that deals with the subject in detail. Hope this helps,
