Is active oxygen potentially harmful to humans?

Living organisms have chosen a path of sustaining life by means of oxygen intake, but this path also posed a major risk with the production of active oxygen. Active oxygen is thought to be a cause of health risks such as aging, cancer formation, and various diseases. By taking oxygen into our system, we gain life-sustaining energy but at the same time, large amounts of active oxygen are produced in our system as well. Age spots are also caused by skin cell damage where oxygen on the surface reacts with strong ultraviolet rays to produce active oxygen.
The history of organic life has always included the battle with these harmful chemicals and it is still a major topic in contemporary medical science. Polyphenol is one chemical known to provide great health benefits due to its high potency in neutralizing active oxygen.

Petroleum sludge is known to be very difficult to treat, therefore, such sludge is normally left untreated. Is your technology able to treat and recycle this type of sludge?
The demand for a new treatment technology has emerged because the current methods suffer from issues with energy-consumption and disposal limitations. Is WEF capable of providing technology to solve these two issues?
Pressurized flotation separation process of oil requires a large amount of chemicals in addition to high maintenance and cost for disposing the separated oil substance as industrial waste. Does the SBC-Pro treatment system help solve these issues?
Waste disposal is broadly categorized as one of two types, industrial waste or general waste. For general waste disposal, unlike Japan, China and other Asian countries are lacking strict waste recycling regulations, even though their landfill capacities are getting smaller and smaller. We often see photos of children in such countries working and searching for valuables in the waste disposal sites (raw garbage). Do you have any solution to treat general waste without waste segregation?
