No doubt an unintentional remark YT, but that could be misleading as
everyone is different.
I also have asthma and I find I always need to use my inhaler when around
the coil. So bear in mind the "wheezy brigade" when demonstrating the coil
to people you don't know that well. I think a bad asthma sufferer -
thankfully I am not - could have some serious issues around coils, as I knew
one bad sufferer who died as a result of an attack (not coil induced I
hasten to add though).

Built three of the largest generators in the industry at that time, Actually
had to tweak the ambient monitor as ground-level O3 exceeded Osha;s 12 hour
limit. I was happy working inside while finding leaks, and appreciated
learning the smell - even with athsma. But it did become overwhelming at
times.
SORRY, but I don't have the pre or post concentration numbers, RETIRED.

Subject: [TCML] Gas hazards
Folks,
before we get into a "which is more dangerous" discussion...
We all know that both Ozone and Nitrogen Oxides are potentially
hazardous, and are irritants, and are produced in various quantities by
Tesla coils.
I suspect most of us do not have any way to measure the gas content, and
we all have subjectively different responses to whatever is emitted by
our coils.
There's also a whole lot of potential other things that can result in
similar effects. (Peter Terren commented on this a few emails ago)
So, let's keep it in the realm of objective data rather not speculation
If you want to provide a link to safety documentation (e.g. industrial
hygiene or safety regulations), that would be useful
or
If you have actual objectively measured data of concentrations of
whatever is produced, that would be useful
or
if you have practical counter measures and recommendations
