What major change occurred in the life forms at the end of proterozoic?

What changed your formerly poisonous atmosphere into an oxygen rich atmosphere?
well, the first ice age is when blocks of ice and rocks release oxygen which helps us breathe
Which of these statements is true about the oxygen revolution?
