Abstract
BEAMS of fast electrons in air generate ozone in quantities that may present health hazards. In laboratories using such beams, for example for radiation chemistry, large-capacity ventilators are therefore installed to keep the ozone level low and to remove remaining ozone rapidly after the beam has been stopped. To check the efficiency of the ventilating system an almost instantaneous method of ozone measurement is called for. We have developed such a method by making use of the chemiluminescence of ozone in contact with ethylene.
