because most combustible gas meters are oxygen dependent and will not provide reliable readings in an oxygen deficient atmosphere

Why more earthquake in japan?
Because there are more volcanoes which bursts when our earth becomes warm and losses the atmospheric oxygen content.
Atmospheric oxygen increased after the evolution of photosynthetic prokaryotes?
There is an increased amount of oxygen after completion of the photosynthetic process.
Initial testing of a Confined Space will be performed in the following sequence?
1. Oxygen Content 2. Flammable Hazard 3. Toxic Materials
What was primarily responsible for the development of life outside of the oceans?
"An increase in atmospheric oxygen"An increase in atmospheric oxygen
What fixes atmospheric Nitrogen?
oxygen fixes atmospheric nitrogen
Is home oxygen equipment dangerous or a fire hazard?
Yes, in many ways home oxygen equipment may prove dangerous as a fire hazard. The equipment has to be handled with care and only for certain specified purposes. Lubricants, oils, greases or general atmospheric debris is a potential fire hazard with oxygen equipment. The user has to avoid contacting even oil-based lotions and balms. Pl see link-http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/hse8.pdf, for more info.
When testing for atmospheric hazards testing for flammable hazards is second after testing for oxygen content What is a reason for this testing order?
many combustible gas indicators and explosion meters require oxygen for proper operation (generally 10- to 30-percent oxygen by volume)
What is considered to be an oxygen-deficient atmosphere?
The absence of free atmospheric oxygen means that the atmosphere does not contain any elemental oxygen (O2). Any oxygen is locked away in compounds such as carbon dioxide.
What is the atmospheric gas that exists in variable?
Oxygen
What atmospheric gas is required by heterotrophs?
Oxygen
Is pure oxygen dangerous?
Yes. Pure oxygen is a fire hazard.
How many oxygen atoms are found in atmospheric oxygen found in the troposphere?
