What is the effect of Nitrogen gas present in atmosphere on oxygen?
The nitrogen present in the atmosphere reacts with oxygen at a high temperature to form Nitrous oxide. It is a greenhouse gas which contributes to global warming. Nitrogen oxides can react with sunlight and other chemicals to form smog which can create environmental health hazards. If nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide react with atmospheric substances it can form acid rain.
Nitrogen oxides can enter into human body through inhalation and skin contact. The long term exposure to nitrogen dioxide can cause asthma, respiratory infections, genetic mutations, harm to a developing fetus, decreased female fertility, spasms, swelling of the throat, rapid pulse, dilated heart, and death.
