Liquid oxygen contains 4,000 times more oxygen by volume than normal air. Materials that are usually considered non-combustible, (such as carbon and stainless steels, cast iron, aluminum, zinc and Teflon) may burn in the presence of liquid oxygen. Many organic materials can react explosively, especially if a flammable mixture is produced. Clothing splashed or soaked with liquid oxygen can remain highly flammable for hours.
In addition, liquid oxygen is very cold, and the cold alone can be hazardous to people, as well as embrittle materials that are not otherwise brittle so they could break more easily.

Is liquid oxygen dangerous to the environment?

Why is a cryogenic liquified payload of CO2 so dangerous to you and not the environment if it spills onto highway?
possible danger of oxygen asphyxiationCO2 has to be cooled greatly to be in a liquid state. So it would be dangerous if it got on you. Luckily it evaporates almost immediately so poses no long-term risk.

How does a water vacuum work to efficiently clean up liquid spills and messes?
A water vacuum uses suction power to quickly and effectively remove liquid spills and messes from surfaces. The vacuum creates a strong airflow that pulls the liquid into the machine, where it is collected in a container or filter. This process helps to efficiently clean up spills without leaving behind residue or causing further spread of the liquid.
