If you are referring to the human consumption of oxygen, then the following might help.

When oxygen is taken in it is absorbed by the Haemoglobin, once the haemoglobin is fully saturated it cannot hold anymore oxygen and so any extra oxygen is simply dispelled through the lungs or does not make it through the alveoli.

Yes. Hyperoxia (elevated concentrations of oxygen in the body) can cause damage to the central nervous system, lungs and eyes. Severe hyproxia can result in cell damage and even death.
