Available scientific evidence shows that at concentrations that do not exceed public health standards, ozone has little potential to remove indoor air contaminants. Ozone does not remove particles such as dust and pollen from the air, including the particles that cause most allergies. The fact is that Ozone can mask but does not remove the source of odors. Health Effects When inhaled, ozone can damage the lungs. It can decrease the lung function, aggravate asthma, irritate the throat and cough, cause chest pain and shortness of breath, cause inflammation of lung tissue, and increase susceptibility to respiratory infection.
Ozone is a toxic gas with vastly different chemical and toxicological properties from oxygen.
Ozone in the upper atmosphere referred to as stratospheric ozone helps filter out damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun. We should not get overconfident about our ability to cope. A major winter storm can be lethal. Preparing for cold weather conditions and responding to them effectively can reduce the dangers caused by winter storms. Service snow removal equipment and have rock salt on hand to melt ice on walkways and sand or kitty litter to generate temporary traction.
