Nitrogen gas can be stored in two ways, under high pressure in a cylinder, or in liquid form in a cryogenic tank. Both are normally safe methods provided you know and apply the safety rules and procedures. Mishandling of either storage method is very dangerous.

Is nitrogen oxide dangerous?
yes
How can nitrogen be dangerous?
Nitrogen has been known to cause headaches/nausea/death in divers wen they go deeper to quickly
Why is it an advantage to transport nitrogen as a liquid rather than as a compressed gas?
The key to storing nitrogen as a liquid is that we need to compress and cool the nitrogen to cause it to change state from a gas to a liquid. By doing this, we can store a lot of nitrogen in a small volume compared to trying to store it as a gas.
If you had a balloon filled with pure nitrogen would it be dangerous to inhale what exactly would happen to you if you did inhale it?
One balloon full? Nothing. We breathe Nitrogen constantly. It is only when you increase the proportion inhaled in comparison to Oxygen does it begin to have an effect. A constant stream of Nitrogen would suffocate you.
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.
Is nitrogen oxide dangerous?
yes
What gases are not dangerous?
oxygen,nitrogen,ho2
What are the properties of fluids that can make scuba diving dangerous?
The propertie that make the fluids dangerous is nitrogen.
Why can nitrogen be dangerous if it gets into drinking water?
Nitrogen due to it's extremely low boiling point, usually exists in gaseous state. so, on consumption, nitrogen mixes with our blood and due to it's low boiling point bubbles up in the blood, causing a painful and dangerous condition called bends. Therefore nitrogen consumption is dangerous.
Where is the largest store of nitrogen?
In the atmosphere.
Why is potassium nitrogen iodide iron dangerous?

Why is frozen liquid nitrogen dangerous?
Well technically if it was frozen then it would not be a liquid. The reason why liquid nitrogen is dangerous is because of its low temperatures. To have nitrogen which is normally a gas to become a liquid you must make the temperature extremely low. If you stick anything into this liquid nitrogen it will freeze it. This is because it is below the freezing point for most organic structures but now below the freezing point for nitrogen. For nitrogen to become a solid the temperatures must go even lower.
Were can you by liquid nitrogen?
You can buy liquid nitro at a coolant store
Which two gases in exhaust fumes are harmful for humans?
The two gases in exhaust fumes that are harmful to humans are carbon monoxide and nitrogen. Nitrogen is not as dangerous as the carbon monoxide, because the atmosphere is about 78% nitrogen.
Is nitrogen an asphyxiant?
Yes 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
Does Home Depot sell liquid nitrogen?
No. You can get it at a welding supply store.
