love the smell of ozone/NOx in the morning?

Those of you who have fooled with Nitric Acid in any quantity, particularly
for etching metal, and, who have operated a laser printer in a closed
office, will readily understand that BOTH Nitric Oxides and and Ozone have
odors, and that they are distinct and different.  The laser printer
generates ONLY ozone (no arcing, no high temperatures, etc.).  I imagine
that the various nitrogen oxides have different odors/smells,
though..They're chemically different, after all.



As for checking a standard reference work... some of the confusion might be
because if you look up ozone, it might wind up giving you the data for
Oxygen, in the O2 form, which is odorless.

Ozone is also used in "odor removal" (or possibly, odor masking) systems.
