An oxygen free environment may be described as "anoxic" (without oxygen) however the composition of gases in the remaining gases may better describe it:
- A gas composed of noble gases like argon is called inert
- A gas which would unite with oxygen or other oxidants is a reducing atmosphere
- An atmosphere similar to the Earth;s atmosphere but without oxygen is anaerobic

Why was oxygen absent from earth's early atmosphere?
Oxygen is an extremely chemically active element, which is why things can burn in our current atmosphere. In the early Earth, all the oxygen had reacted with other chemicals in the environment, so that there was no free oxygen. Only later, when photosynthesis was used by green plants, was there a source of free oxygen.
