An ozone generator is made for boats which are closed up for long periods of 
time.  Boats tend to get dank and grow mildew.  The ozone will sterilize the 
atmosphere and inhibit and kill mold.  Also gets rid of odors.  Bars have 
ozone generators to precipitate cigarette smoke.  Ozone is unstable and 
breaks down to O2 quickly.  Therefore if you inject it into a body, it will 
break down quickly to a rather inert state.  However it is highly oxidising 
and yields free radicals.  Excessive exposure by inhalation is bad for you.  
I do like the smell of ozone--clean & refreshing.  My laser printer emits 
some ozone.  Any high voltage device generates ozone.
