  OK, it's a necessary evil. But when we want to generate more superoxide 
  radicals (there might be some more H2O2 too) in a cell culture dish and cause 
  accelerated telomere shortening, we use 40% O2 in the incubator. Unless you 
  live in the Himalayas, you should try to use chemical means (CoQ10 or 
  whatever) to make better use of less oxygen. -Bill
