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.
Em muitos processos industriais, os níveis de oxigénio podem ser deslocados por outros gases, pelo que é importante monitorizar os níveis de oxigénio e evacuar se os níveis de oxigénio descerem abaixo de 19,5% por volume.
