oxygen content
Breathable gas percentage
Oxygen content is the amount of oxygen present in a substance, typically expressed as a percentage or concentration.
The term appears most often in medical contexts referring to blood oxygen levels, but also describes atmospheric conditions, water quality, or material composition: The patient's blood oxygen content dropped dangerously low.
In industrial and environmental settings, oxygen content determines whether combustion can occur or aquatic life can survive.
