Whether or not corrosion is a problem is uncertain. I suppose that depends on other factors such as PH and humidity to some extent. Ozone is a_strong _oxidizer. So the possiblity of oxidation is certainly increased. Ozone is an unstabile molecule mode up of three Oxygen molecules linked with weak bonds and looking for any excuse to react with other unstabile matter in the vicinity. Oxygen in an O2 arrangement is a far cry from ozone in an O3 arrangement. Ozone _is_ highly reactive in most situations. That is why it is useful to remove odors. It oxidizes them into other (non-smelly) compounds.
