Guest guest Posted June 6, 2001 Report Share Posted June 6, 2001 Dear Pete, If breathing ozone caused irreparable lung damage I would have two big empty holes in my chest where my lungs rotted out. Since I breathe a lot of it, and have done so for 8 years, and my lungs are fine, I guess you have been sold 'a bill of goods'. Now, why would they want to misinform you .....? If ozone is escaping from the steam cabinet, we just use a fan to blow across the face and blow it away. If a window can be opened behind you, so much the better. In extreme cases, we would fit an oxygen mask to the client and deliver oxygen at 2 - 3 liters/minute, providing positive pressure, preventing any ozone from entering the mask. Best of Health!
