Scientists estimate a safe oxygen consumption of 50 liters per hour for a human. Meanwhile, a leaf gives off about five milliliters of oxygen per hour. A person would need to be in a room with about ten thousand leaves. About 300 to 500 plants would produce the right amount of oxygen.
Photosynthesis from plants use carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water and a byproduct is oxygen. Before humans existed, the earth existed for millions of years creating an enormous supply of oxygen. Organisms and plants created a balance of oxygen and CO2. The Earth's net supply of oxygen comes from phytoplankton. Plants produce oxygen but use up what they make by producing carbon dioxide at night and when they are burned or decompose, so you see, the only thing that keeps us breathing is the tiny phytoplankton in the sea.
