If you don't think Ozone is hazardous, then read the following:
http://bigmac.civil.mtu.edu/home/classes/ce459/public/p16/health.html

And another note, ozone mixing with the water vapor in your lungs can form
Nitric acid.  I'd rather not have that in my lungs.

The EPA has information available on Ozone as well.
http://www.epa.gov/airnow/health/index.html

Keep in mind that you can generate MUCH higher levels of Ozone than can
exist in the air at pollutant levels.  .1ppm is considered the level at
which it becomes harmful.  Ventilation is your only way to protect the
sensitive lining of your lungs.
    There isn't enough information for scientists to form conclusions about
the long-term effects of Ozone exposure, yet.   But they do know that it can
be harmful in high concentrations, at least temporarily.
