A member asked:
Why can't a person use oxygen if they live in a basement apartment with furnace in it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basement: This is because the furnace has an active flame - oxygen will enhance this if it leaks out in high concentrations. You could potentially have a fire issue.
