Same Amount of Oxygen

The Technical News Bulletin, November 1970, carries the report of a study by the National Bureau of Standards which indicates that the abundance of oxygen in clean air during the period 1967 to 1970 is the same as found in all reliable measurements since 1910. There have been reports of fear of disaster because some have thought that the amount of oxygen in the air might be seriously affected by pollution. Folks also tell us that the burning of fuels in industry is using up the earth’s supply of oxygen and that eventually we will all suffocate as there won’t be any oxygen left.

The National Science Foundation collected air samples of 78 sites around the world and compared them with samples taken 61 years ago. Result? There is precisely the same amount of oxygen in the air as there was in 1910–20.95 percent.
