Nitrogen Oxide – N2O

Nitrous oxide N2O or basic information about laughing gas : physical properties, health effects, special detection equipment ( N2O gas detector ) and respiratory protection.

Nitrogen oxide (N2O) properties

Nitrous oxide is also laughing gas Also known as . It is a strong greenhouse gas (global warming potential 298), especially through agro-industrial activities (nitrogen fertilization), wastewater treatment and burning of organic and fossil materials. Nitrous oxide is an oxidizer used in combustion engines. N2O is also used as a narcotic by doctors and veterinarians.

Health effects of nitrous oxide

N2O It is a colorless gas that emits a slightly sweet odor. can have many harmful effects on health It is an anesthetic and neurotoxic gas. . It can cause hallucinations, disorientation, muscle spasms, poisoning, and death from asphyxiation.

Nitrous oxide is also a chemical that facilitates combustion and, in some cases, increases the risk of fire. is an oxidizing gas.

N2O detector (nitrous oxide)

Measurement of N2O concentrations can be performed using a nitrogen oxide detector. This gas can be measured as toxicity (ppm) or explosiveness (%LEL) depending on applications.
Nitrogen oxide calibration gas cylinders are available for calibration and gas testing of your fixed or portable gas detectors.

Respiratory protection nitrogen oxide (NO2)

In the presence of high N20 concentrations, wearing a SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) or air-supplied respirator provides protection for the worker.
