Not true...what is true is that having to many plants can be harmful. Let me explain. During the day plants take in Carbon Dioxide and then expel Oxygen. But at night plants do the opposite. They take in Oxygen and expel Carbon Dioxide. Having to many plants in the area where you sleep can be harmful since they can deprive you of Oxygen and make you instead breath in Carbon Dioxide.

Oxygen is oxygen. Oxygen is not toxic to humans. In fact, we require it to survive.
Of course, there are other substances that some plants produce that can be toxic to humans. I don't know what you're growing, but I wouldn't worry about any poisonous oxygen.
Humans have been living amongst plants for centuries with no ill effects from the oxygen. Relax and enjoy your plants.

Earth timber have stepped forward in Earthlike situations for an extremely long term. in case you plant a tree on Mars, this is going to die. The soil has pollutants in it, and a distinctive distribution of foodstuff. The temperatures are chilly, to which maximum plantlife could be incapable of growth... at terrific, it could desire to stay dormant permenently if all different factors have been conductive to tree existence... yet they at the instant are not. Mars' has an extremely skinny environment, there does no longer be sufficient CO_2 for the timber to proceed to exist. much less photograph voltaic radiation won could advise those timber could desire to be genetically adapted to decrease ranges of solar for photosynthesis to take place. and of direction, the real kick in the butt... Mars lacks a magnetosphere and an ozone layer. right here on the earth, maximum lifeforms could perish with out one, or the different, or the two. On Mars, the UV radiation could tarnish DNA molecules... something organic and organic in compound could become worse because of the radiation, because of the shortcoming of safety that the Martian ecosystem grants. (area notice) There are some extremeophile micro organism right here on the earth that could desire to probably proceed to exist Mars-like situations. maximum 'terraforming' proponents desire to apply those, alongside with some species of algae to do what you intend... however the subject concerns proceed even previous that...

No, plants give off O2 (oxygen) and humans give off CO2 (carbon dioxide). This is what makes our ecosystem work so well! I think you may be thinking of O3 (ozone) which is poisonous to humans in that it binds with red blood cells the same way O2 does, taking the place of oxygen and possibly causing oxygen deprivation. (It is great for blocking UV rays in the upper atmosphere, though :o) )

Oxygen is Oxygen ... if it was lethal is wouldn't be Oxygen it would be something else
All Oxygen given off by plants and trees is breathable, it's what they do that allows us to breath our atmosphere
Someone is pullting your leg here
I hope you slap whoever told you this ....LOL
