Nenah, I made it very clear that in low concentrations ozone by itself is not toxic. Please include all of my statements when replying to what I post.
I will repeat myself, ozone used in air filters or in higher concentrations to treat houses can adsorb in sheet rock and out gas over a period of time where it can mix with various impurities in the air there by forming unknown chemical cocktails. We do know that ozone can make some compounds toxic. It is not a safe substance for most people to be using. It is a very reaction compound. And it can be very risky. Personally I will not use it. But then I tend to be rather cautious.
