If you mean body, it depends, under 30 seconds most likely fine, over 30 seconds slight pain when breathing deep, over 1 min there will be problem.
you can get hyperoxia or oxygen toxicity. try breathing at rapid rate for as long as you can and you will suddenly feel dizzy or lightheaded, this would be one of the immediate effects. try the link for more info:

What happens if air contains oxygen only?
we would have to shorten our breaths then die because of over dose yes thier is such thing as too much oxygen
Can too much oxygen harm community tank fish?
No. There is not such thing as too much oxygen just too much carbon. It is good to have a lot of oxygen so the fish dont die because of no oxygen.
What is carbon dioxide narcosis?
Carbon dioxide narcosis happens when people have too much oxygen. It builds up in the body and becomes toxic
What happens to someone on Jupiter?
they die because it is too cold,-150C, and there is no oxygen.
Can too much oxygen be toxic?
Yes it can.
What happens when someone hyperventilates?
They breathe too much oxygen. This causes light-headedness. Breathe slowly for awhile or breathe into a paper bag to raise your CO2 .
What is meant when you say too much is bad and too little is bad?
The "Goldilocks Principle" applies to everything. For anything you can name, there is "too much!", or "too little", or "Just right!" Water; too much water, and you will drown; too little water and you die of thirst. Food; too much and you get fat, too little and you'll starve. There's a "Just right!" somewhere in between. Oxygen; too much oxygen, and you'll have seizures and you'll be brain-damaged. That's why scuba divers never dive with pure oxygen; below about 40 feet depth, the oxygen becomes toxic. Too little oxygen, and your brain will starve.
What would happen if their was too much oxygen?
Too much air would harm the body
What happens when nitrogen enters the water?
It makes the aquatic plants grow too much. Eventually it will lead to reduced oxygen levels in the water, which can cause fish to die.
Can too much oxygen cause respiratory failure?
no
What happens if you use too much paper towels?
it harms the trees and trees are needed for us to live. if we don't have trees ,we don't have oxygen. if we don't have oxygen, we can't breathe. if we can't breathe, we DIE. save the trees man!
What happens if there is too much oxygen in seawater?
Oxygen in the water is called "dissolved oxygen" because quite simply it is just that. The air naturally diffuses into the water and can reach equilibrium with the water. It is virtually impossible to get too much dissolved oxygen in the water because the excess will convert back to gas and bubble out of the water like so much soda water when you pour it out of the bottle. This said, there is no concern for too much dissolved oxygen in the water. Concern arises when dissolved oxygen levels get too low. When this happens more sensitive plants and animals become weak or die. As a side note, weather, temperature, and salinity all effect dissolved oxygen levels. Faster moving water contains more dissolved oxygen because it has more contact with the air than still water. Cold, fresh water holds more oxygen than warm or salty water. This would mean a cold, fast moving, fresh water stream or river would contain the highest amounts of dissolved oxygen, and the salinity of the ocean water would not be ideal for holding as much dissolved oxygen.
