Next, the denim manufacturer incorporated ozone processing to give its garments the washed-down effect sans water (when ozone decomposes, it reverts to free oxygen).

Much of the damage looks like the result of oxidation by free radicals (oxygen-rich compounds released during cellular energy production).

These free radicals are oxygen-rich molecules in which one of the oxygen atoms is particularly likely to react with other chemicals.

They also come with a new specially designed carrying case that features cable management, as well as OFC (oxygen free copper) cables for enhanced sonic performance.

When the oceans ran out of iron, the oxygen was free to accumulate in the air.

But vintage ports, made only in a few top years, are bottled early on and mature sloooowly in their oxygen-free glass-and-cork environment.

In an oxygen-free (anaerobic) environment at a certain temperature, pH and salinity, the bacteria can produce a toxin that in very small amounts can cause life-threatening paralysis.

Still, we bet people still fall for the hype -- oh hey, if you're looking for the ultimate in sound, we've got half a meter of oxygen-free, triple-wrapped double-insulated Sonically Shielded AmpliSized Egyptian Llama cable here that we'll part ways with for just a couple grand.

Such reactions, though, often create damaging oxygen-rich molecules called free radicals, which are thought to be one of the driving forces of ageing.

They then have nowhere to put all the light energy they are absorbing, and the resulting breakdown of biochemical pathways creates toxic oxygen-containing molecules known as free radicals.

Eliminating free radical production would involve completely redesigning aspects of our metabolism, especially the way we use oxygen to extract energy from food.
