It's probably fine for healthy individuals, at least for short term. Hospitals have patients on 100% oxygen all the time. Your lungs only take as much as your blood can absorb. Any more than that would be exhaled. Patient with COPD may have problem with pure 100% oxygen because your respiratory drive depends on CO2 levels.
