It's my understanding that pure ozone can be breathed without any adverse
effects whatsoever, but don't take my word for it.  It problem arises from
the subsequent creation of a form of nitrous oxide in the vicinity of
energetically operating Tesla coils--Tesla called this "the burning of
atmospheric nitrogen."  I believe the gas can combine with the moisture in
one's lungs to form weak nitric acid.
