Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Executive summary:

Ozone is a natural substance present in the earth's atmosphere (formed photochemically). At 20°C, ozone is a blue gas, but at the concentrations at which it is ordinarily produced, this colour is not noticeable unless the gas is viewed through a considerable depth. Ozone gas has a pungent, characteristic odour.

Description of key information

Ozone is a colourless to pale blue gas with pungent odour at 20 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
