Oxygen toxicity is a concern for scuba divers who dive beyond recreational limits or use gas mixtures with high oxygen levels, as exposure to oxygen at high pressures can cause a medical condition. The earliest sign is mild irritation in the trachea that worsens with deep breathing, and symptoms can include those shown in the picture. To prevent it, divers must stay within safe depth and time limits for their gas mixture, while on land photosynthesis from trees provides non-toxic oxygen for breathing.
