Hi Ingeborg,
It was a long time ago - a science program - something about it being an
oxidizer - promonts aging I think it was - I'm sure there is lots on the
web - just type in ozone - you will find it.
There was even some talk that manufactures publish ozone production rates
for their machines - some have more than others for sure.
Perhaps the answer is - turn it off when you are in and on when you are out.

Also - Ozone attacks rubber - REAL rubber - Most hatches on boats these
days are not rubber from trees - urethane and silicon are not hurt by
ozone. Many people are sensitive to ozone though - especially people
with asthma.
