How are we going to handle the oxygen pollution?

When we finally go into industrial production of hydrogen to power our vehicles we will be producing 8 tons of oxygen for every ton of hydrogen. Simply venting this to the atmosphere as industries are wont to do will produce serious hazards around the production plants, ranging from increased fire danger to plant toxicity to animal toxicity, depending on concentrations. Depending on diffusion and wind to dissipate the oxygen is the same mistake we've made throuought history with airborne pollutants.
