Ozone effect

Ozone is very reactive chemical that readily attacks other molecules including those
in the tissue of the respiratory system. Exertions that increase the need for oxygen
will increase air intake and allow ozone molecules to penetrate and damage the
sensitive areas of the lungs. Ozone can aggravate asthma attacks by making
individuals more sensitive to allergens that promote the attack and more
susceptible to respiratory infections. Lung tissue can be scarred by continued
exposure to ozone over the years.
