Elemental Nitrogen may be conveniently obtained by cryogenic distillation from the atmosphere. The liquid form is widely used as a low temperature coolant. It is an important part of our diet, and is found in proteins. Nitrates are very useful chemicals, and until recently, were obtained from immense deposits of seabird droppings, sometimes called guano.

What impact does mining nitrogen have on the environment?

While materials that contain NITRATES are mined (guano, nitrate rock, etc) NITROGEN is not mined. Nitrogen is a gas that makes up about 80% of the air around you. Nitrogen ferilizers, in the form of ammonium nitrate, are usually made from natural gas. If you have some more information of the substance to be mined, or if we misunderstood your question, please repost, or send me a message through my message board.
