It is fatal in | | concentrations of as little as 0.000001 | | p.p.m. Humans exposed to the oxygen | | concentrations die within a few | | minutes. Symptoms resemble very much | | those of cyanide poisoning (blue face, | | etc.). In higher concentrations, e.g. | | 20%, the toxic effect is somewhat | | delayed and it takes about 2.5 billion | | inhalations before death takes place. | | The reason for the delay is the | | difference in the mechanism of the | | toxic effect of oxygen in 20% | | concentration. It apparently | | contributes to a complex process called | | aging, of which very little is known, | | except that it is always fatal. | | | | However, the main disadvantage of the | | 20% oxygen concentration is in the fact | | it is habit forming. The first | | inhalation (occurring at birth) is | | sufficient to make oxygen addiction | | permanent. After that, any considerable | | decrease in the daily oxygen doses | | results in death with symptoms | | resembling those of cyanide poisoning. | | | | Oxygen is an extreme fire hazard. All | | of the fires that were reported in the | | continental U.S. for the period of the | | past 25 years were found to be due to | | the presence of this gas in the | | atmosphere surrounding the buildings in | | question. | | | | Oxygen is especially dangerous because | | it is odorless, colorless and | | tasteless, so that its presence can not | | be readily detected until it is too | | late. | | | | -- Chemical & Engineering News February | \ 6, 1956 / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
