Oxygen in our atmosphere at 21% allows animals like humans to be active – when we choose to be! Oxygen powers a vibrant biosphere comprising plants, fungi and animals throughout the sea, land and air, on a biochemical foundation of bacteria and microbes. Oxygen is almost synonymous with life – but we know it wasn’t […]
