Oxygen is a colorless, tasteless, and odorless gas, and makes up about 21% (by volume) of air. It is chemically very active, has strong ability to oxidize (i.e., burn) other matter, and combines with many elements. Also, it plays an integral role in the life support of organisms through breathing.
In addition to being used for furnace blowing in the steel industry, etc., using the property of burning and oxidizing, it is used for welding and cutting steel materials, and in oxidation reaction processes in the chemical field. Further, it is used in a wide range of fields such as oxygen inhalation in the medical field, wastewater treatment for environmental measures, and rocket propellants.
