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.


Why nitrogen is used as disinfectant?

How excess nitrogen from agriculture can kill fish?

Excess nitrogen from agriculture can lead to eutrophication in bodies of water. This excess nitrogen causes an overgrowth of algae, which reduces oxygen levels in the water when it dies and decomposes. This low oxygen level can suffocate fish and other aquatic organisms, leading to fish kills.


If one were to use Nitrogen on the oil spill then to cap it off would it work?

I'm not quite sure of how nitrogen could be effective. It is very difficult to kill a well from the top. Or perhaps I should say that drilling a well to the bottom of a blown out well, is more successful. They tried a "top kill"- pumping huge quantities of mud down the kill and choke lines, but the well just kept pushing everything out the top. The bottom kill will work, it just takes a very long time to drill relief wells.


Can the use of liquid nitrogen on your skin cause an allergic rash?

No. Nitrogen does not irritate skin. But liquid nitrogen is extremely cold, and it can damage and kill skin (and other) tissue. It is a bad idea to allow your skin to come into contact with liquid nitrogen. Note: Some warts are "frozen" in an effort to remove them. In a clinical setting, liquid nitrogen is sometimes used to super-cool an instrument so the wart can be frozen. But this is a medical procedure and is done by professionals. Liquid nitrogen is not something that should be looked upon as a "toy" or "recreational plaything" by anyone.
