Isn't that how a plasma cutter works?

This is highly simplistic, and really not very accurate . The formation of
ozone in the atmosphere is much more complex than that, and results not from
“other pollutants” but hydrocarbons or volatile organic gases. The amount
produced, if any is highly dependent on many factors.
And ozone itself is not particularly stable.
There may be a lot of NOx produced, and NOx is a pollutant itself. But it is
possible that any emissions can be controlled.
If you are talking about plasma (which we are), ozone can be directly produced
from that, though I am not familiar with the chemistry.
