Nitrogen is a simple asphyxiant that is without other significant physiologic effects. Inhalation of nitrogen is dangerous only when it lowers the available oxygen in air to below life-sustaining levels

How does carbon dioxide behave like a toxic gas?
Carbon dioxide is not toxic but it is not a breathing gas, it is asphyxiant.
What is the biological role of helium?
Helium is an inert gas and forms no compounds. It has no biological role. it is used in diving gases. Inhaled in large quantities it sis an asphyxiant.
Are noble gases poisonous?
Noble gases are not toxic but may be asphyxiant; only radon is radioactive and very dangerous.
Do you calculate total organic nitrogen by adding nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen?
I believe you determine Organic Nitrogen by subtracting Ammonia Nitrogen from Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen.
What is the process of converting nitrogen into nitrogen compounds?
i dont kow. kkio.
What gas is an example of a chemical asphyxiant?
Oxygen - No Nitrogen - No Carbon Monoxide - Yes Argon - No
Is hydrogen gas a poison gas?
No, but it is dangerous in large amounts, because it is an asphyxiant gas. Also, it's extremely flammable.
Is concentrated nitrogen a bad gas to breath?
Pure elemental nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and mostly inert diatomic gas at standard conditions, constituting 78% by volume of the air we breath. "Concentrated nitrogen" or perhaps purified nitrogen gas would only pose a problem as a possible asphyxiant, displacing the available oxygen in large quantities in a sealed room. It would otherwise not be harmful in any way.
What are the hazards for the element to neon?
Neon is not toxic; may be asphyxiant.
What best describes an asphyxiant?
chemicals that block the supply of oxygen to the body
What are different physical properties between diamond and nitrogen?
Come on my dear. Entirely different comparison. Nitrogen is a gas @ NTP. Diamond is rock-hard crystalline form of carbon. (solid) Nitrogen is present in air upto 78%. Diamond has to be unearthed. Nitrogen is naturally occurring (through super novas) Carbon is compressed under huge pressure of earth and allotrophic changes to Diamond. Nitrogen is a simple asphyxiant (replaces oxygen) and could kill us. Diamond needs to be polished for the luster. Nitrogen can be liquified. Diamond will never change its shape (of its own) Diamond can be cut by another diamond only. Total refractive index is high. It is affected by Nitrogen (impurity).
What do animals breathe out that is poisonous to animals?
Nothing. CO2 in high quantities can be an asphyxiant, however, it is not a poison....
How does carbon dioxide behave like a toxic gas?
Carbon dioxide is not toxic but it is not a breathing gas, it is asphyxiant.
Which is more harmful cfc or dry ice?
Both are asphyxiant gasses and will suffocate you if the levels of oxygen are too low to support life.
What are the properties of nitrogen?
Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. It is the most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere, making up about 78% of it. Nitrogen is relatively unreactive and is not easily utilized by most living organisms in its gaseous form, but it plays a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle and is essential for the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids.
Is dimethyl poisonous when burned?
According to its MSDS, not particularly. Obviously you wouldn't want to breathe a lot in, since it is an asphyxiant, but it is not very dangerous toxicologically.
What is blackdamp?
Blackdamp is another term for choke damp - an asphyxiant found in enclosed places such as mines and sewers after oxygen has been removed from the air.
