Ozone generators

To control mold outbreaks in our rare books vault, our physical plant
engineer has recommended using a device called an "ozone generator".
This machine {Pure-Aire Model 100} generates activated oxygen (which is
3000 times more powerful than chlorine) which oxidizes and permanently
"destroys the source of the problem leaving only a pleasant, odor free,
environmentally secure area". Has anyone actually used such a machine in
a library setting? Or is anyone aware of research or testing of ozone
generators to [1] determine their effectiveness in controlling mold and
[2] identify possible negative side effects? Any personal testimonies
and/or feedback about this device would be appreciated. Thanks!

   there is a fair amount of information available in CoOL (check cool,
   cool-waac, cool-cfl, cool-ref).  To receive the CoOL doc files, send
