I'm not sure I'd use this as a solid frame of reference. Unless you're licking the tray tables or IFE controller the sanitizer thing is unlikely to have much impact on your health.

Nah...it is lower oxygen partial pressure because the plane is only pressurized typically to 8,000 feet elevation. The newer aircraft (787/A350, A380 to a lesser extent) have a lower altitude equivalent which gets you higher oxygen levels.

If you think a mask helps then go for it. But I'll bet that's psychosomatic, not real.
