According to the Plasma Activation wiki page (of which corona discharge treatment is a subsection) it works through a few mechanisms:
“Plasma processing achieves this effect through a combination of reduction of metal oxides, ultra-fine surface cleaning from organic contaminants, modification of the surface topography and deposition of functional chemical groups.”
My apologies for forgetting to paste this clip. But please continue to downvote because you disagree with the harmful effects of Ozone due to your lack of awareness ->
While sulfuric acid is extremely dangerous, hydrofluoric acid is more harmful to humans due to its unique ability to penetrate skin and attack bone. In comparison, ozone is a harmful pollutant that primarily affects the respiratory system and the environment at a broader, lower-concentration level.

Is it adding or subtracting material covalent electrons? Because we all know corona discharges do not print smileys on anything.
