Is ammonia monoxide a toxic gas?

No, the mechanism is different. But it is also a poisonous gas. Nitrous oxide is an inorganic substance with the chemical formula N2O. Also known as nitrous oxide, a colorless and sweet gas, it is an oxidant, which can support combustion under certain conditions (just like oxygen, because nitrous oxide can be decomposed into nitrogen and oxygen at high temperature), but it is stable at room temperature, has a slight anesthetic effect and can make people laugh.

toxicology

Acute toxicity: nitrous oxide has been used in medicine for a long time as an inhalation anesthetic, and it is rarely used. Inhaling the mixture of nitrous oxide and air will lead to suffocation when the oxygen concentration is very low; Inhalation of 80% mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen can lead to deep anesthesia, and usually there is no sequelae after waking up.

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as "nitrous oxide", is an anesthetic gas and has been widely used in medical surgery. However, "nitrous oxide" will lead to hypoxia after entering the blood, and long-term smoking may cause hypertension, syncope and even heart attack. In addition, long-term exposure to such gases can also lead to anemia and central nervous system damage.

App application

Combustion promoter

Nitrous oxide is sent to the engine by a modified car with nitrogen-oxygen acceleration system, and it is decomposed into nitrogen and oxygen after being heated, which improves the combustion rate and speed of the engine. Oxygen has the function of supporting combustion and accelerating fuel combustion.

Rocket oxidizer

Nitrous oxide can be used as rocket oxidant. This is superior to other oxidants because it is non-toxic, stable at room temperature, easy to store and relatively safe to fly. The second advantage is that it can be easily decomposed into breathing air.

Emergency treatment

Inhalation: leave the scene quickly and go to a place with fresh air. Keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. If you have difficulty breathing, give oxygen. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration immediately. See a doctor.

Respiratory system protection: generally no special protection is needed. Self-priming filter gas mask (half mask) can be worn when exposed to high concentration.

Eye protection: generally no special protection is needed.

Physical protection: wear general work clothes.

Hand protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves.

Other protection: avoid high concentration inhalation. When working in storage tanks, confined spaces or other high concentration areas, someone must supervise.

Emergency treatment of leakage: quickly evacuate people in the leakage and pollution area to the upwind direction, isolate them and strictly restrict access. It is recommended that emergency personnel wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and ordinary work clothes. Cut off the leakage source as much as possible. Reasonable ventilation and accelerated diffusion. Leaked containers should be properly handled, repaired and inspected before use.

Harmful combustion products: nitric oxide.

Fire extinguishing method: This product is nonflammable. Firefighters must wear gas masks and full-body fire suits to put out the fire in the upwind direction. Use atomized water to keep the container cool in the fire. Cut off the gas source quickly, spray water to protect the personnel who cut off the gas source, and then choose the appropriate fire extinguishing agent according to the cause of the fire.

management information

Operation management: closed operation and good natural ventilation. Operators must be specially trained and strictly abide by the operating procedures. Stay away from kindling and heat sources, and smoking is strictly prohibited in the workplace. Keep away from flammable and combustible materials. Prevent gas from leaking into the air in the workplace. Avoid contact with reducing agents. Lightly load and unload during handling to prevent damage to gas cylinders and accessories. Equipped with corresponding varieties and quantities of fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.

Storage management: stored in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Stay away from fire and heat sources. The reservoir temperature should not exceed 30℃. It should be stored separately from flammable (combustible) materials and reducing agents and should not be mixed. The storage area should be equipped with emergency treatment equipment for leakage.

Transportation management: the safety helmet on the cylinder must be worn when transporting with the cylinder. Gas cylinders are generally laid flat, and the bottle mouths should be in the same direction and not crossed; The height shall not exceed the vehicle guardrail and be fixed with triangular wooden mats to prevent rolling. It is forbidden to mix or transport with flammable or combustible materials and reducing agents. It should be transported in the morning and evening in summer to prevent sun exposure. It is forbidden to slip during railway transportation.
