Within the bodily tissues, the obstacle to oxygen diffusion generally remains beneath 30 μm and seldom surpasses a distance of 100 μm from a cell to its closest capillary [3,4].
The diffusion coefficient of O2 in air, measured as 1.98 × 10−5 m2·s−1, is significantly greater than its corresponding value in water, which is 1.90 × 10−9 m2·s−1 [18]. The presence of water in the substrate can hinder gas exchange, primarily by occupying the smaller pores and thus confining the gases to the larger pores.
The exchange of gases occurs within the countless alveoli present in the lungs, which are surrounded by capillaries. As illustrated here, the inhaled oxygen traverses from the alveoli into the blood flowing through the capillaries, whereas carbon dioxide reverses this path, moving from the blood in the capillaries to the air-filled alveoli.
[1] DLCO serves as a metric for evaluating the efficiency of the lungs in transferring gaseous substances from inhaled air into the circulatory system. [2] Carbon monoxide (CO) exhibits a strong preference for hemoglobin, mirroring the route traversed by oxygen in its ultimate binding with hemoglobin.

Based on the origin and manufacturing technique, medical oxygen exhibits distinct qualities. When it comes to oxygen derived through the process of air liquefaction, the International Pharmacopoeia establishes the criteria for oxygen intended for medical purposes. Presently, the oxygen must comprise a minimum of 99.5% v/v of O2.
Breathing pure oxygen can pose a fatal risk. Our blood has naturally adapted to efficiently capture the oxygen we inhale and securely attach it to haemoglobin, a critical transport molecule. However, inhaling air with an abnormally high concentration of O2 can exceed the blood's capacity to effectively distribute it, leading to potential harm.
According to OSHA regulations, the minimal "safe concentration" of oxygen within a confined environment must be maintained at 19.5%, whereas the maximum "safe concentration" should not exceed 23.5%. Given that low oxygen levels are the primary cause of fatalities in enclosed spaces, precise oxygen level assessments are paramount.
Increasing Oxygen Levels
A highly effective and rapid technique to boost your oxygen saturation levels is to expose yourself to clean, outdoor air. If you're currently in a totally enclosed space, consider opening a few windows to allow the refreshing breeze to circulate throughout the room.
Enhance the oxygen concentration in your abode by periodically ventilating it with fresh air by opening a window for brief intervals of approximately 10 minutes. Alternatively, taking a brief stroll outdoors for 10 minutes can instantly revitalize your body with oxygen. Adding indoor greenery, such as orchids or succulents, is another effective way to enrich the oxygen content within your home. Additionally, utilizing an air purifier can assist in eliminating harmful air contaminants, further enhancing the quality of the indoor air.
