Ozone gas is a pale blue gas having a pungent smell. This gas is an allotrope of oxygen and is indicated as O3. But, this gas is less stable than the diatomic allotrope O2. Ozone is made from dioxygen by the action of UV and electrical discharges within the atmosphere of the earth. It is present in very low concentrations throughout and has the highest concentration in the ozone layer because it absorbs most of the ultra-violet radiations of the sun. So, to detect the concentration of ozone gas, there is a sensor, belongs to the MQ gas sensor series, known as the MQ131 ozone sensor.
The MQ-131 ozone gas sensor can sense ozone concentration levels in the air. An internal preheater inside the sensor helps to attain the ideal sensing conditions. But, because of this internal preheater, the sensor requires more current. Fortunately, the sensor comes pre-calibrated, however, final calibration is needed for accurate measurements.
