Rust is caused by oxygen. You breathe oxygen every day. If this dangerous chemical can rust a pipe imagine what it's doing to your lungs!

Not all organisms breath oxygen though (although aquatic animals actually do breath the oxygen in water and not water itself). Plants breath sunlight (and eat carbon dioxide), while a variety of bacteria breath exotic substances like sulphate (SO4--), hexvalent uranium (UO2++), ferric iron (Fe+++, aka rust), or arsenate (AsO4---). Dioxygen is used by the majority of atmospheric organisms (exist in air) because it is high energy (reactive) and has an energy barrier (like pushing a rock up a small hill to knock it down a cliff) preventing it from reacting immediately and explosively (like dichlorine does).

We breath air not oxygen. Oxygen isn’t even a majority of what’s in the air we breath.
Oxygen has the largest share if the air, after Nitrogen. And we don’t even do anything with nitrogen. I’m pretty sure he meant that. Though I could be wrong
