It is NOT.
non-toxic, non-explosive, non-reactive, non-corrosive: almost completely INERT.
However, if you breath pure nitrogen gas you asphyxiate and die because there is no oxygen.
However, don't stick your fingers in liquid nitrogen, they'll be 'burned' at -190oC.

∙ 11y agoNitrogen gas is an asphyxia . In other words although it is not toxic, you will die if you breath 100% nitrogen as there is no oxygen to keep you alive.

Is nigtrogen dangerous?
Pure nitrogen can be dangerous as it leads to quick asphyxiation without the human body noticing that anything is wrong. Because air is mostly nitrogren gas, breathing pure nitrogen feels like breathing air (unlike breathing air that has a high fraction of carbon dioxide for example or noxious gases with identifiable smells), which is why it can be dangerous. Several deaths due to nitrogen asphyxiation occur in the US every year as nitrogen is used widely, for example to pressurize instrumentation compartments to reduce fire hazard or in research laboratories. Accidental death occurs when servicing such compartments without first removing the nitrogen athmosphere (see 1981 space shuttle accident) or due to accidental spillage (i.e. leaking containers). Compounds and molecules of nitrogen that contain oxygen and other elements, however, can be dangerous, but many are not. Cyanide, for instance, is a molecule that contains both carbon (the building blocks of life) and nitrogen. On the other hand, nitrogen monoxide (a neurotransmitter) and nitrogen dioxide (laughing gas) are mostly nontoxic, but as with all chemicals and molecules, including water, this is a matter of relative scale.
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.
