  This is from a Eukarion patent on uses for its salen-Mn complexes (such as 
EUK-134):

..."Antioxidant salen-metal complexes may also be administered to deep-divers 
or individuals exposed to hyberbaric environments were oxygen toxicity 
presents a health risk. Administration of an efficacious dose of an 
antioxidant salen-metal complex to an individual may permit the breathing or 
hyberbaric and/or oxygen-enriched gases with a reduced risk of oxygen 
toxicity. It is also believed that administration of an efficacious dosage of 
an antioxidant salen-metal complex can reduced toxicity and biological damage 
associated with exposure to ozone. Prophylactic administration of an 
antioxidant salen-metal complex to humans who are or will be exposed to ozone 
is expected to confer an enhanced resistance to ozone toxicity, such as the 
ozone-induced lung damage noted in geographical areas with high ozone levels 
(e.g., Los Angeles). "

   So if you must breathe oxygen, Bozzonetti, at least take the proper 
precautions. -Bill
