Oxygen is essential for sustaining life because our bodies require it to generate energy through cellular respiration. However, some other gases, such as carbon monoxide, can be harmful or fatal because they can interfere with oxygen binding in the body or disrupt normal physiological processes, leading to oxygen deprivation and tissue damage.
What else can I help you with?
Why does breathing pure oxygen kill you?
Breathing pure oxygen at high concentrations can result in oxygen toxicity, which can damage cells and tissues in the body. This can lead to lung damage, seizures, and even death. The body needs a balance of oxygen and other gases in the air to function properly.
Can inhaling the gas from farts kill people?
yes through hyper indigestion this is a disease that can make peoples farts soo bad people passout and dont wake up
Will eliminating the supply of oxygen from the air kill off a virus?
No, eliminating the supply of oxygen from the air would not kill off a virus because viruses do not require or consume oxygen to survive. Viruses need a living host cell to replicate and cannot survive for long outside of a host organism.
Can R124a kill you?
Yes, inhaling R134a can cause dizziness, headaches, and respiratory irritation. In high concentrations, it can lead to asphyxiation by displacing oxygen in the air. It's important to handle and use R134a with proper safety precautions and in well-ventilated areas.
Harmful and useful effects of gases in the air?
The atmosphere is composed of: Nitrogen (78.8%), Oxygen (20.95%), Argon (0.93%), Carbon dioxide (0.038%) and other gases (percentages by volume proportion). Oxygen in its O3 form protects the planet from ultraviolet radiation (ozone layer) and in its O2 form Oxygen is essential to most forms of life. Ozone is known to cause cancer, and is used to kill bacteries. Nitrogen is part of all biological organisms, taking part in the genetic compounds, and is essential to life. Atmospheric Nitrogen is captured by Nitrogen fixing bacteria which live in the root nodules of many legumionus plants such as peas and beans. When the legumes die the "fixed" Nitrogen in the form of Nitrates is released into the soil where it becomes available for other species of plants and, through the food chain, is also made available to animals. Carbon dioxide is one of the by-products of cellular respiration, and is one of the major greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming. In the process of photosinthesis, carbon dioxid is fixed by the plants, and used to make sugar and celullosis. Argon is one of the Inert or Noble group of gases and as the name of the group implies it doesn't readily take part in any reactions. Other gases such as the various oxides of Sulphur and Nitrogen can dissolve in water to form "Acid Rain" which can cause serious damage to plants, water system and can also be a major cause of erosion of rocks, both in nature and when they have been used as building material. CFCs (Chloro-Fluoro-Carbons) which were once used as a propelant gas in aerosol sprays and a coolant in refrigerators where found to be very damaging to the Earth's ozone layer.
What other gases kill people?
Oxygen and helium. Please don't take this seriously I'm stuoid
Why does breathing pure oxygen kill you?
Breathing pure oxygen at high concentrations can result in oxygen toxicity, which can damage cells and tissues in the body. This can lead to lung damage, seizures, and even death. The body needs a balance of oxygen and other gases in the air to function properly.
Why is earths oxygen breathabale?
First of all it is spelled 'Oxygen'. It is not that Earth's Oxygen is more breathable than another planet's. We have just evolved to need Oxygen to live. Other planets don't have as much Oxygen as we need to live. They have other gases that would kill us instantly. That is why we need spacesuits to be able to walk on the moon and other planets. The same goes for Outer Space. Outer Space has no Oxygen at all.
Can poisonous gases kill a human?
Yes. If you inhale enough of it to displace the oxygen content in your blood you can die from inhaling poisionous gasses.
Is there gases that can kill and which gases are they?
Gas can kill if it is poisonous but most gasses are harmless
What are some examples of gases?
Carbon Dioxide and OxygenHelium, neon, xenon, krypton, radon, chlorine, fluorine, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, and freon are all gases at normal temperature and pressure. All substances will become gases at a sufficiently high temperature (which is to say, everything has a boiling point).Oxygen,Nitrogen, and HydrogenHelium, neon, xenon, krypton, radon, chlorine, fluorine, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, and freonlpg,windHydrogen, helium, oxygen, nitrogen, argon and xenon are some noble gases. Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, chlorine, and bromine are gases that will kill you. Examples are almost endless.Oxygen, nitrogen, argon. In other words, air.
How long does a wagler's viper live?

Can gas get you high?
It depends on the gas. Most can get you sick. Other types of gases can kill you, such as carbon monoxide.
5 What has Earths atmosphere got that no other planet has that enables us to live?
Earth's atmosphere contain significant amounts of oxygen, no other planet in the solar system has it - it may well be that other planets in the galaxy do have oxygen. It's not just oxygen though; if the atmosphere was pure oxygen it would kill us very quickly. It's the combination of gases; oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, etc, etc know as AIR, together with its pressure of around 15 psi that enables us to live here on earth.
What is the role of gases in smoking?
To kill you.
What are gases from corona?
Gases from the sun's corona include hydrogen, helium, and smaller amounts of heavier elements like carbon and oxygen. These gases are superheated to millions of degrees Celsius, creating a halo of hot, ionized gas that extends millions of kilometers away from the sun's surface.
