Since O3 is so reactive, shouldn't

3O2         ===>  2O3
403+3N2 ===> 6N02

be a valid reaction for all Ozone-producing discharges, or would this only
occur
with the higher-current and temperature discharge at the gap rather than at the
output arc? N202 I rememeber producing at school by controlled heating of
Ammonium Nitrate (think it was with H2SO4 as a catalyst)... but perhaps there's
some way it could be indirectly produced by an arc... And what about NO3 - even
nastier and a real health hazard?
