I think that the bulb itself does not produce ozone, but that the action
of the UV bulb light on the clothes in the dryer is similar to the
effect you get when you hang your washing out of doors, to give you that
fresh ozone smell.  It is also true that the UV in sunlight kills some
germs that are present on your washing after you have taken it out of
the machine, and it may be this that the UV light bulb is trying to
achieve.
