I believe you may be incorrect, the fraction is not the problem [1]. Apollo also ran with pure O2, even after an early accident under higher pressure [2].
> In such applications as extra-vehicular activity, high-fraction oxygen is non-toxic, even at breathing mixture fractions approaching 100%, because the oxygen partial pressure is not allowed to chronically exceed 0.3 bar (4.4 psi).
