oxygen environments also play a role in their longevity and cancer resistance.

In terms of the quality of life, there is still a huge imbalance between man - made systems that provide sanitized air, food, water and comfort, and the natural systems that eliminate entropic «energies» that
also provide
oxygen, food and water to man, despite the efforts to apply natural systems in man - made
environments.
Dr. Kiang
also relates this work to research in astrobiology, particularly with regard to how photosynthetic activity produces signs of life at the global scale (e.g., biogenic gases like
oxygen and photosynthetic pigments like chlorophyll) and how these may exhibit adaptations to alternative
environments on extrasolar planets, resulting in other «biosignatures» that might be detected by space telescopes.
