oxygen levels
Air's vital measure
Oxygen levels refers to the concentration of oxygen in a substance—typically blood, water, or air.
In medical contexts, blood oxygen levels indicate how well the body is circulating oxygen to tissues: Her oxygen levels dropped dangerously low.
Environmental monitoring tracks oxygen levels in water bodies or enclosed spaces.
The phrase almost always appears in plural form.
