An atmosphere of pure oxygen at 21% of normal atmospheric pressure will give you roughly the same oxygen into your blood as 21% oxygen (the rest non-soluble/inert) at normal pressure. It's roughly the same number of oxygen molecules colliding with the inside of your lungs per second either way. However, on earth, unless you are in a plane at high altitude or in an experiment, you'll probably be near normal atmospheric pressure and therefore in that case pure oxygen could be bad. | |
