I always understood that the O3 radical or ozone at ground level was

in the lower atmosphere or O3 free radical when inhaled it combines with
other compounds to form some new compounds in your body some of which are
carsogenic... It is a irritant to the eyes, throat and lungs....

which is reason enough to for me to well ventilate .......
