        Absolutely.

        The clean smell is ozone.  One doesn't want to breathe too much of
this, however, because it is toxic.  It is O3 or oxygen with an extra atom
in the oxygen molecule.  It decays back to O2 and the lonesome oxygen atoms
send spams over the Internet and find other recently divorced oxygen atoms
to pair off with.:-)

        Here in the United States, ozone is used to flood railroad cars
filled with produce since it is good at killing varmants, but non persistent.
It is also used in place of chlorine in some city water plants to kill things
so the bottom line, here, is be careful.
