What Concentration of Oxygen Will Cause an Explosion

Oxygen acts as a combustive accelerant, but it is not a flammable material and lacks an explosive threshold. It won’t chemically explode or combust from oxidation reactions, even at 100% concentration.

Nonetheless, high concentrations of oxygen can readily trigger explosions when they encounter heat from friction or electrical sparks in the presence of combustibles, like some organic compounds.
