Is breathing pure oxygen safe?
Oxygen radicals harm the fats, protein and DNA in your body. This damages your eyes so you can’t see properly, and your lungs, so you can’t breathe normally. So breathing pure oxygen is quite dangerous.
Why do the lungs prefer air breathed in through the nose?
Airways. SINUSES are hollow spaces in the bones of your head above and below your eyes that are connected to your nose by small openings. Sinuses help regulate the temperature and humidity of inhaled air. The NOSE is the preferred entrance for outside air into the respiratory system.
