ATMOSPHERE IN ISLAND ONE

Savage argues that a 1/3 bar pure oxygen atmosphere would represent as much
of a fire hazard as our 1 bar atmosphere with 1/3 of oxygen content. The
pressure of the *oxygen* would be the same in both cases, and people could
breath normally and produce fires that would burn normally.

However, I don't know if there are experiments done with low-pressure pure
oxygen atmospheres confirming that. Could anyone supply additional
information?
