3.3.1. Ozone Concentration Measurements

As depicted in Table 4, the ozone limits as introduced by OSHA and COSHH were met when the plasma comb was operated on a human head measured in a distance of 10 cm (average distance from hairline to tip of the nose). The ozone concentrations measured at this distance satisfied the limits of OSHA by a factor of 0.01, and the COSHH limits were met by factor 0.015. Figure 7 displays the decreasing ozone concentrations with regard to the sampling distance.

Nozzle Distance	Median O3 Conc./ppb	OSHA Multiple	COSHH Multiple
0 cm	3348	≈11.2×	≈16.7×
1 cm	1562	≈5.2×	≈7.8×
10 cm	2.6	≈0.01×	≈0.015×
