No, liquid oxygen is not dangerous to the environment, however, it is extremely cold, so it will freeze things almost instantly. It will evaporate into O2 if it is released into the atmosphere, which is the component of air we use to breathe.

Is liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen bad for the environment?

liquid hydrogen and LOX (liquid oxygen) is normally use for liquid rocket propellents, so the making to use the materials is bad for the environment, since you need to build the gas tank and such. But the use of the liquid hydrogen and LOX merely produces water vapour which is no harm.


Why is a cryogenic liquified payload of CO2 so dangerous to you and not the environment if it spills onto highway?

How can you get liquid oxygen using liquid nitrogen?

Liquid nitrogen is colder than liquid oxygen. You use the liquid nitrogen to chill the oxygen in the air and liquid oxygen will form. Liquid water and dry Ice (CO2) should also form due to their presence as well, but not in large quantity. WARNING!! High concentrations of oxygen should be considered dangerous. When exposed to a small ignition source, it can cause flammable materials to combust much like an explosion, and will cause normally non flammable materials to burn readily. Human flesh burns better than wood after being exposed to 100% oxygen for a period of time. Please be careful.
