I thought we were in trouble from not enough ozone, isn't there a problem with a hole in the ozone layer? What if we all removed the ozone filters for the next International Enviroment Day?
At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.
Ground level ozone = bad... harmful to plantlife and people.
Stratospheric ozone = good... absorbs biologically harmful ultraviolet radiation coming from the Sun (protects you from skin cancer and other nasty stuff).
So removing the filters will not do the trick
It it worked the copy machine owners should be able to apply for environmental refunds of some kind...Get money from people who buy climate quotes
Thanks INFIDEL and LOTEC for the wonderful explanation about the ozone filter, My recollection of HIGH SCHOOL CHEMISTRY is that OZONE is an ISOTOPE of OXYGEN,i.e. ionised oxygen with 3 ATOMS of oxygen instead of the NORMAL 2ATOM OXYGEN we know and LIVE ON., and that ozone "DOES NOT" support life. I have great admiration and respect for the scientists and design Engineers. I have no doubt in my mind that they have a very STRONG reason as to why they include a ozone filter in the copier, to get rid of the ozone. It is the responsibility of the technician to do the needful, educate m/c users & replace the filter when it is due. I have done it every time it is to be done. It is ETHICAL and just what it is supposed to be.
