Ozone prone

Is it safe to put an ozone generator in the grow room?

I recently purchased a silver bullet UV ozone generator. It works awesomely. Can I put this in my 6 foot by 8 foot growroom?

Free oxygen floating in the air is a molecule composed of two oxygen atoms (O2). Ozone generators recombine these atoms into a different molecule, ozone, composed of three oxygen atoms (O3). This molecule is unstable and one atom readily jumps over to other molecules that are oppositely charged. These include odor molecules. Once the oxygen atom attaches to one of these molecules, it neutralizes the odor.

Placing the ozone generator inside the grow room will neutralize much of the bud's odor and flavour. Instead, place the generator in the room or hallway next to the growing area so that only escaping odors are oxidized by the ozone, while the buds retain their luscious aroma.
