What is Nitrogen?
Nitrogen is a colorless gas or liquid under pressure. It is mainly used as a refrigerant with applications in the medical field and food industry. Nitrogen is also used for tank blanketing for the transportation of other chemicals by helping reduce the potential of ignition from combustible or flammable liquids and other chemical reactions.
In spite of its many uses, nitrogen is very hazardous as well. Contact with liquified nitrogen can cause frostbite and severe skin burns. If vaporized, nitrogen may displace oxygen and cause asphyxiation. This can be especially hazardous in confined spaces. Nitrogen is not flammable, but cylinders containing gas under pressure may explode if heated. Follow safety practices and wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working with this chemical to prevent serious accidents or injury.
