Breathing pure nitrogen is deadly because the gas displaces oxygen in the lungs
Nitrogen is an inert gas and isn’t toxic, but it doesn’t chemically react with other gases
When breathing pure nitrogen, oxygen in the body dissipates very quickly, because it escapes the body through the lungs
Unconsciousness can occur within one or two breaths
