Ummm... that would be the ozone. If you make a habit of ozone
sniffing, you may want to check if you're exhibiting any symptoms:

I have an ozone generator + filter. In the right PPM it's beneficial
to kill airborne disease. Thanks to that thing I haven't suffered a
cold or flu as long as it's been running.

And now just wait for lung cancer to hit you.

Ah ok. So ozone causes lung cancer?

I don't think there's a cancer link quite yet. However, breathing
ozone causes some rather nasty pulmonary irritation:

There are also hints that it has secondary cardiovascular effects:

and DNA damage:

My mummy never told me it was dangerous breathing in all that ozone, after
playing with my electric train set for hours and filling the room with that
distinctive arcing and sparking smell.
