It is crucial for sustaining life, as it is used during respiration. However, high concentrations of oxygen create an enriched environment that can accelerate combustion. Materials that may not burn in normal air may burn vigorously in an oxygen-rich environment, with a simple spark being enough to potentially cause fires.
En muchos procesos industriales, los niveles de oxígeno pueden verse desplazados por otros gases, por lo que es importante controlar los niveles de oxígeno y evacuar si caen por debajo del 19,5% en volumen.
