No really.

The only other thing that may concern me would be having my 
photographs displayed in a display "booth" enclosed with  glass and 
fluorescent lights.

The ozone level is extremely high and will fade un-coated prints 
fairly fast.

But my photos never spend more that 3 weeks in this condition, so I'm 
not concerned.

These prints are of a commercial nature and go into the trash after 
the 3 weeks or so.
