Ozone has a very specific sharp odour somewhat resembling chlorine bleach. Most people can detect it at the 0.01 umol/mol level in air. Exposure of 0.1 to 1 umol/mol produces headaches and burning eyes and irritates the respiratory passages.Even low concentrations of ozone in air are very destructive to organic materials such as latex, plastics, and animal lung tissue.

The ozone molecule is weakly diamagnetic.
