• The issue of occupational exposure to ozone in workers using photocopiers or printers is not frequently addressed in the Polish medical literature. Eye irritation and disorders of upper respiratory system, fatigue and its consequences (headache, malaise, concentration disorders) are the most frequently described health problems. Ozone concentrations in particular offices were measured to assess potential health effects of occupational exposure. The obtained results indicate a very low level of ozone concentration in the studied offices (0.012-0.035 mg/m3) hence it can be suggested that the occupational exposure to ozone in those premises is not hazardous to workers. Our own data are close to the observations made by others authors.
