Yes and no.
Every living organism needs a small amount of nitrogen to survive. Nitrogen helps make up DNA. Every time we breathe in, we are taking nitrogen in the air into our bodies, but our bodies can't use the nitrogen in this form, so it doesn't harm us in this way and we just exhale it right back out.
We can only get nitrogen in small amounts through the foods we eat. Nitrogen in this shape and form is not harmful to us.
However, nitrogen is the main reason for the holes in the ozone layer. Fertilizers and the burning of fossil fuels, for example, changes nitrogen into a harmful pollutant.

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.
Is liquid nitrogen poisonous?
Liquid nitrogen is not poisonous, however, it can be dangerous if it comes into contact with skin or if it is inhaled because of its extremely low temperatures. It can cause severe burns or frostbite upon contact with skin and can displace oxygen in the air if inhaled in high concentrations.
Liquid Nitrogen kill warts?
While liquid nitrogen theoretically could be used as a wart remover, this is not done in practice due to the difficulty of maintaining nitrogen in the liquid state. Commercial wart remover products contain dimethyl ether and propane. These liquified compounds (which are gaseous at room temperature and pressure) boil upon releasing the pressure in the container, thereby causing a dramatic cooling effect. Because liquid nitrogen is so cold and can cause severe frost bite, it is used only by physicians to kill warts.
How many liters of nitrogen dioxide is produced when 34L of oxygen reacts with an excess of nitrogen monoxide?
When 34L of oxygen reacts with an excess of nitrogen monoxide, the stoichiometry of the reaction tells us that equal volumes of oxygen and nitrogen dioxide are produced. Therefore, 34L of oxygen will produce 34L of nitrogen dioxide.

Does sugar kill nitrogen?
Nothing can kill nitrogen as nitrogen is not alive. There is no reaction between sugar and nitrogen.
Will liquid nitrogen kill bedbugs?
i think so doesnt it kill just about every thing?
What household items have nitrogen?
The air that is all around us has nitrogen in it.
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.
What does the atomic number tell us about nitrogen?
The nitrogen has 7 protons. your welcome!
Why nitrogen is used as disinfectant?
Nitrogen is not commonly used as a disinfectant. Disinfectants are typically chemical solutions or agents that are specifically designed to kill or inactivate microorganisms. Nitrogen is an inert gas and does not possess disinfectant properties.
When will the ozone layer kill us?
It depends on us. If we pollute it, it will kill us soon.
Does liquid nitrogen kill germs?
Certainly will do. It's very cold! Is it around -80C?

What does N2 tells us?
It tells us that Nitrogen exists as a diatomic molecule.
Does insects kill us more than you kill them?
