  2. Nitrous oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide

    Nitrous oxide is a colourless gas with a faint, sweet odour. Nitrous oxide supports combustion by releasing the dipolar bonded oxygen radical, and can thus relight a glowing splint. N 2 O is inert at room temperature and has few reactions. At elevated temperatures, its reactivity increases. For example, nitrous oxide reacts with NaNH

  3. Recreational use of nitrous oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_use_of...

    Nitrous oxide (N 2 O), commonly referred to as laughing gas, along with various street names, is an inert gas which can induce euphoria, dissociation, hallucinogenic states of mind, and relaxation when inhaled. [1] Nitrous oxide has no acute biochemical or cellular toxicity and is not metabolized in humans or other mammals.

    Purchasing nitrous oxide with the intent to inhale is considered a misdemeanor in California — punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, or both. But the sale of the gas is ...

  5. Nitrogen narcosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_narcosis

    Narcosis produces a state similar to drunkenness (alcohol intoxication), or nitrous oxide inhalation. It can occur during shallow dives, but does not usually become noticeable at depths less than 30 metres (98 ft). Except for helium and probably neon, all gases that can be breathed have a narcotic effect, although widely varying in degree.

  6. Nitrogen dioxide poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_dioxide_poisoning

    Nitrogen dioxide poisoning is the illness resulting from the toxic effect of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2). It usually occurs after the inhalation of the gas beyond the threshold limit value. [1] Nitrogen dioxide is reddish-brown with a very harsh smell at high concentrations, at lower concentrations it is colorless but may still have a harsh odour.

  8. Inhalant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhalant

    Nitrous oxide is thought to be particularly non-toxic, though heavy long-term use can lead to a variety of serious health problems linked to the destruction of vitamin B12 and folic acid. [17] [18] Nitrous oxide "whippets" are small aerosol containers designed for charging whipped cream dispensers.

  9. NOx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOx

    Though nitrous oxide is emitted during its application, it is then reacted in atmosphere to form nitrogen oxides. This third source is attributed to the reaction of atmospheric nitrogen, N 2 , with radicals such as C, CH, and CH 2 fragments derived from fuel, [ 26 ] rather than thermal or fuel processes.
