I can't comment on that statement. But I can say with surety that my brother would be dead now if he had not begun using a cpap some years ago. Apnea was literally killing him.

Maybe it does have some negatives, I don't know. But in life one sometimes has to choose between the lesser of the bad stuff. In his case, I have seen no downside.

“Don’t use a cpap - puts bad stuff in you”

What would you suggest?

I disagree. The air intake has a filter so you avoid the dust that causes allergies. Keep it clean and it’s the best sleep I’ve ever had. It’s probably helpful that I live in a high desert environment. And when I had covid early on, it was amazing. I put it beside my recliner and sat with it on all day with no water in the reservoir, it dried my sinuses wonderfully.
Recently I went on an overnight trip and went really light, just a briefcase so I left it at home. The sleep was the worst ever, and reminded me why I got it to begin with.

Not if you clean it. It will filter things out of the air.

But there was an issue with Philips Dreamware C-Paps causing users to inhale degraded polyurethane foam particles, resulting in formaldehyde in the lungs.

So does Jim Hoft if you give him the chance.
