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.
In veel industriële processen kan het zuurstofgehalte worden verdrongen door andere gassen. Het is dus belangrijk om het zuurstofgehalte te controleren en te evacueren als het zuurstofgehalte onder de 19,5% van het volume komt.
