Subject: dangers of oxygen PS

PS.  I forgot to mention that I have heard that aluminum oxide (a dust that
can occur inside aluminum scuba tanks) burns very brightly and is a major
compoent in fireworks.  The theoretical danger of this dust igniting may be
the reason for not allowing O2 to be stored in Aluminum cylinders.
