There's an increased risk of infection, but that's about it.

The only difference between medical oxygen and industrial oxygen is how it's filtered. Both use microscopic filtration to remove air particles, but medical oxygen is run through filters so small that they can remove bacteria. Medical oxygen is considered sterile and appropriate for use in operating rooms. Industrial oxygen may contain bacteria, and is not appropriate for use in patients.

So he asked you to ask us?
You don't even know how to form a sentence. Why would he ask you to find out?

I think he should have access to that information without your help. He could call the oxygen supplier to find out how clean the industrial oxygen is.

I don't believe your story because industrial oxygen comes in different tanks than medical oxygen so that won't happen.

Surgeons don't administer oxygen. They have an anesthesiologist for that.
