Hi Cyane
All is well thank you. Life is GOOD!
Here is a chemical resistance chart that is very valuable to check material suitability with ozone

The only other air purifier I have personal experience with is the OZX A200 or 500B from Enaly. Unlike their pathetic water purifiers these Enaly units actually will last their warranty of a year and beyond and the replacement plates are very inexpensive.
As for health benefits, I can only tell you of my own experience. Ozone is my room air has purified my lungs of over 30 years of intense cigarette and cigar smoking. My last chest x-ray showed no shadows whatsoever and they got a clean bill of health from the doc.
I feel that if the ozone is needed in the immediate area of the alveola in the lungs to break down toxins, it never makes it to the blood stream. If there is nothing in the lungs to oxidize then it will make it to the blood stream. Ozone does not care what it combines with. It's mission is to become a balanced, stable molecule. Each ozone atom will combine with the first unstable or oxidizable molecule it encounters. If that happens to be a bacteria/virus/mold spore/yeast etc then that is as far as it goes. If it is a dead,diseased or dying cell, then that is a far as it goes. If it is a free radical in the blood, it will combine with that free radical creating a less harmful radical or a stable molecule. This is what I have come to believe.
Best of luck
