Ok yeah, that makes sense. However, if you suddenly started smelling ozone I would think that you just wouldn’t leave it but take action as soon as it happened.Temporary.
I have read on a number of occasions on a UK forum of people experiencing the likes of headaches attributed to the use of ozone. However, it never bothered me. I don't think people have to be actually "hurt" for people to have a negative reaction to ozone in the air for people to stop using it. Like I said some are a lot more sensitive to free ozone in the surrounding air in the room.
I don’t doubt that people have experienced the above as I’ve done so myself once due to being an idiot. However I’ve also inhaled kalkwasser powder, electrocuted myself, cut myself in razors, got allergic reactions to euphyllias which I’ve developed an over sensitivity to in the last decade, dropped a large rock on my foot once etc etc.
If you are careless stuff can happen I just don’t think the consequences in this case are as dire as often perpetuated…usually by people who has no real life experience of using ozone.
The person I initially responded to thought that there were serious risks for his kid using ozone which I think is way over the top.
One much more serious risk would be that the tank bursts when one of the kids are standing in front of it. I’ve seen multiple instances of tanks blowing out and that’s something I think of when my kid is around the tank.
