The mixture of gases that makes up the Earth's atmosphere is known as air. Nitrogen makes up 78 % of this gas, which is mixed with oxygen (21%), water vapour (variable), argon (0.9 %), carbon dioxide (0.04%), and trace gases. There is no apparent scent or colour in pure air. Dust, pollen, and spores are common contaminants in the air ...

The nitrogen fraction is selected so that the sum of the oxygen and nitrogen partial pressures at depth does not exceed a specified equivalent narcotic depth on air, usually 70 to 120 fsw. The balance of the mixture is helium. A typical mixture for a dive to 297 fsw (10 ata) might be 16% oxygen, 24% nitrogen, 60% helium.

Reactions and Compounds of Nitrogen. Like carbon, nitrogen has four valence orbitals (one 2s and three 2p), so it can participate in at most four electron-pair bonds by using sp 3 hybrid orbitals. Unlike carbon, however, nitrogen does not form long chains because of repulsive interactions between lone pairs of electrons on adjacent atoms.

Here are essential points to remember about hyperoxia: One, there are three significant consequences of routine, excessive oxygen administration: nitrogen washout, oxygen toxicity, and oxidative stress. Two, the atmosphere contains roughly 78 percent nitrogen, thus making up the majority of the volume within the lower airways and alveoli.
