## It is pretty well known that ozone is a highly corrosive
substance. In fact, it will eat the rubber off appliance cords and car
tires in very low concentrations. It may be an extremely potent free
radical in the body systems. There's no question that in sufficient
concentration that ozone will destroy lung tissue in no time flat.
It kills bacteria instantly as it will kill nearly anything
instantly. That's why water distillers treat their water with it. It is
also very unstable, so, once it has reacted with something, [and it will
react with nearly anything] it becomes harmless oxygen.

Dear Heather, I have one too. It is collecting dust in the spare room, as I
don`t like the smell either. The folks who sell them say that ozone isn`t a
health hazard, but that when we have a "High Ozone Day" it is because it is
easier to measure the ozone than the other, noxious pollutants. When they go
up so does the ozone. I hope they are right, but I don`t know where to find
out.
