Abstract
RECENT literature on the toxicity of ozone shows increasing suspicion of its harmfulness for many living creatures, including man. Bearing in mind the considerable exposure to low concentrations of this gas, produced by ultra-violet sterilizing tubes, many types of mercury arcs, commercial ozonizers, high-tension transformers, welding arcs, etc., we decided to investigate some features of its toxicity.
