Yes and no.
Every living organism needs a small amount of nitrogen to survive. Nitrogen helps make up DNA. Every time we breathe in, we are taking nitrogen in the air into our bodies, but our bodies can't use the nitrogen in this form, so it doesn't harm us in this way and we just exhale it right back out.
We can only get nitrogen in small amounts through the foods we eat. Nitrogen in this shape and form is not harmful to us.
However, nitrogen is the main reason for the holes in the ozone layer. Fertilizers and the burning of fossil fuels, for example, changes nitrogen into a harmful pollutant.

Liquid Nitrogen kill warts?
While liquid nitrogen theoretically could be used as a wart remover, this is not done in practice due to the difficulty of maintaining nitrogen in the liquid state. Commercial wart remover products contain dimethyl ether and propane. These liquified compounds (which are gaseous at room temperature and pressure) boil upon releasing the pressure in the container, thereby causing a dramatic cooling effect. Because liquid nitrogen is so cold and can cause severe frost bite, it is used only by physicians to kill warts.
Can nitrogen gas kill you?

Describe how excess nitrogen from agriculture can kill fish?
Excess nitrogen from agriculture means using the inorganic feritilizers. These fertilizers deposit the nitrogen into the soil and overtime the soil decomposes the nitrogen, converting it into gaseous nitrogen which is then returned to the air. This eventually creates a big acid cloud which will give birth to acid rain. Acid rain will fall in the waters containing fish and then kill them.
