The dangers of inhaling nitrous oxide are largely determined by the method of administration: the currently popular method of ...
Medical professionals are calling for tighter restrictions on the sale of nitrous oxide gas cartridges, colloquially known as "nangs," due to potentially serious harm for users including lasting neurological damage. Nitrous oxide or "laughing gas" is normally used by dentists and medical professionals...
may also result in a considerable accumulation of dissolved gas within the body, and when the administration is stopped, large volumes of nitrous oxide diffuse from the blood into the lung alveoli, diluting oxygen. This temporary reduction in the amount of alveolar oxygen is termeddiffusion hypoxia...

Nitrous oxide (N2O) lacks clinical indications in modern anaesthesia, while it is a high-potential greenhouse gas. Its seemingly low cost contrasts with the consequential externalised socio-economic costs due to its contribution to the climate crisis, which is approximately euro698 per emitted ton ...
