Ozone as a component of photochemical smog, produces the irritation that everybody talks about as it combines with the raunchy soup of chemicals in the air to produce who knows what. If I remember correctly, when ozone is made by a plasma in room air the water vapor in the air combines with the nitrogen to produce traces of nitric acid vapor, which also causes irritation. Air purifiers that are designed to generate ozone need to limit the amount they produce to safe levels for this reason. Ozone made with pure dry oxygen in a medical ozone generator, is safe and very useful, so I hear, if you know what you're doing with it. It's a subject that is well worth studying in greater depth. The negative generalities you get from the "authorities" either ignore or purposely mis-state the conditions that cause irritation. Be well, Mike D.
