There are several chemicals that as a gas will displace oxygen, depending on the partial pressure of the gas and the atmosphere. In firefighting systems, the halon family of inert halogens (bromochlorodifluoromethane) prevent oxygen from reaching the combusting materials. Because of their toxicity, and the potential for atmospheric ozone depletion, halons are being replaced with safer halocarbon compounds.
