The question is extremely vague. Elemental nitrogen is essentially harmless except in one way: if it gets into the bloodstream, it can cause an air embolism ... a bubble in the blood that can result in a stroke or a heart attack. Normally this isn't a problem, but if a person is breathing air at high pressures, some of the nitrogen will dissolve in the blood. As long as it stays dissolved, it's still fine, but if the pressure is suddenly lowered, some of the nitrogen can come out of solution, and then you've got trouble. Nitrogen-containing compounds include far too wide a range of materials to even begin to discuss what problems they could cause. Many of them are perfectly innocuous... all proteins contain nitrogen, for example. Some of them are not at all innocuous ... rattlesnake venom is a protein.

Nitrogen gas is inert (does not react) but if it is inhaled under pressure it can cause the bends and nitrogen narcosis.

How excess nitrogen from agriculture can kill fish?
It is bad for them.
How do humans badly affect the nitrogen cycle?
they don't. humans are a part of the nitrogen cycle. we eat it in our food, it stays in our bodies, then it leaves our body when we die so it can be used again.
What is one outcome about excess nitrogen?
Nope Algal Blooms
Is nitrogen used by the body?
it goes through your body and comes out as carbon dioxide. trees use the carbon dioxide to make more nitrogen that you breathe again.
Does the air we breathe out contains more or less nitrogen?
The nitrogen is not absorbed in your body via lungs. So the amount of nitrogen in inhaled and exhaled air has to be same. Nitrogen protects your body from the harmful effects of 100 % oxygen.
How does your urinary system keep you healthy?
It helps you eliminate wastes (for example: excess Nitrogen) from the body.
What do high temperature's high pressure combustion's nitrogen fixation's and lightning produce a excess carbon b excess nitrogen c nitrates d ammonia?
excess nitrogen
Where does nitrogen go after it enters the human body?
The majority of nitrogen which enters the body does so in the form of protein, which is composed of amino acids. Once the protein is broken down into these subunits, it enters the bloodstream where the cells of the body can absorb it and use it in many different ways. Excess amino acids (and thus excess nitrogen), along with cellular wastes containing nitrogen, are eventually filtered out of the blood by the kidneys and excreted in the urine in the form of urea, a waste product.
When photosynthesis require excess nitrogen?
Nitrogen gas is unnecessary. It is not using in the photosynthesis.
Does gravity not affect on nitrogen balloon?
It does affect a nitrogen balloon.
Excess nitrogen is converted in what by the liver?
urea
What will happen if there will be excess nitrogen in the air?
growth
What are the effects of too much nitrogen in a body of water?
Nitrogen has no effect on water although it can be dissolved. Nitrogen is not hazardous in itself, and in water is not dangerous. However as your body has no use for it when breathed, it can asphyxiate. But in water it has no effect on large biological organisms. High nitrogen content can cause algal blooms in surface areas of water. However, nitrogen can be processed into nitrates by bacteria which can kill fish. Excess nitrogen is removed by humans through urea.

What is the name for runway growth because of excess nitrogen?
