So I have this air filter in my room I use since my room is in the basement, and the air tends to get a little stiff. When I want to get rid of any smell, I would just press the "Ozone" button and that would usually cover it up a bit.

After some research, I found out this -blam!- is poisinous. These air purrifiers have been banned in a few states.

So, if I breathed it in for about 3 hours a week for 3 months, what harm has been done?

I would tell you but I don't have any knowledge in the medical department.

I would suggest going to the hospital.

Yes, O3 is poisonous. The thing that cleanses the air of germies is the same thing you breath into your lungs.

Edit: I should say O3 is detrimental, not poisonous.

It's only poisonous, generally speaking, in detectable concentrations. Unless you can smell the tang of ozone, you aren't being hurt. And low-grade exposure isn't a particularly harmful thing, unless done over very long periods of time.
Now, if you are getting headaches when you are using the stuff, then I strongly recommend you stop using it, and see a doctor. The stuff can damage lungs.

Yikes. And yeah, I could always smell the metallic smell when it was on. :S

OH -blam!- GUYS! I have been blacking out a lot recently. You know how you occasionally stand up, feel dizzy, and your vision begins to darken? That happens to me very frequently now. I didn't think it was very serious, perhaps a side effect of my medication.

Could that be caused by breathing ozone?

Not good, but not fatal. Just don't do it anymore.

I doubt that your machine actually produces ozone

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

If you are feeling dizzy or not normal, I would suggest going to a doctor.
Also, i would also suggest buying a better air cleaner.

You'll be fine. If you aren't, then just sue the company who made them and get millions.

Either way, you're good.

Sometimes I am tempted to quit gaming. I can no longer play without seeing ponyphags, horrendously bad teammates and mexicans.

Gaming community, I want you to know that you suck.

Ironic considering a harmful substance is supposed to protect Earth from UV rays.
