A photo-tube method for measuring the concentration of ozone is described. Measurements were made of the rate of production and rate of decomposition of ozone in oxygen and in air by low pressure mercury vapor lamps. The production in oxygen is enhanced by the presence of nitrogen. Increasing the moisture content of the gas decreases the rate of production and increases the rate of decomposition. A new germicidal lamp enclosed in a 10-liter glass tube will form an equilibrium concentration of 145 parts per million by volume. A quartz lamp under the same conditions will form 640 parts per million. With oxygen flowing through the tube the yield for the quartz lamp is 2.5×10−3 g ozone/min. or 10 g kw hr.
