Oxygen – both medicine and poison

Oxygen – both medicine and poison There is no human or animal life without oxygen. Most organisms, including humans and plants, as well as many bacteria need oxygen in order to gain energy by oxidation. The oxygen is reduced to water in the respiratory chain. In addition, many metabolites are degraded by oxygenation via certain enzymes (oxygenases). Chemistry: Oxygen is a colourless, odour- and tasteless gas with a density of p = 1.429 g/l under normal conditions. The boiling point lies at -183 °C, the thermal conductivity is 26.4 mW/mK. About 21% of our atmospheric gas is oxygen – accordingly, the partial pressure in normal air is 0.21 bar. Oxygen as medicine: Oxygen used in human medicine is subject to strict controls and regulations. Medical oxygen is either delivered in white, especially marked bottles (in Germany) or supplied as liquid oxygen in tanks. In Germany, oxygen is a finished medicinal product as defined by the German Medical Products Act (MPG). Under certain medical co...
