Welsh government to pump ozone into classrooms to prevent covid. Ozone causes muscles in the airways to constrict. It’s a noxious substance!

Doctors have welcomed a £6m air technology fund to stop Covid spreading in schools, colleges and universities.

The ozone disinfecting machines, developed through Swansea University, are specifically for the disinfection of empty indoor space… These machines have been developed to speed-up the decontamination of classrooms following a confirmed outbreak of Covid-19 only, and not as a form of air purification for occupied indoor spaces.

Studies have shown that short-term exposure to ozone can affect the lungs, the respiratory tract, and the eyes, and can also increase susceptibility to inhaled allergens. Long term exposure to ozone has primarily been found to reduce lung function.
