Depends entirely on blood O2 saturation prior to exposure to the Nitrogen. Given a 100% Nitrogen atmosphere, the expected time with zero oxygen, starting with a normally O2 saturated victim is about 9 minutes before mortality. However, severe and permanent injury can occur in a shorter timeframe -- as little as 4-5 minutes. Note that extreme hypthermia may cause a significant increase in these times.
There happened a case of Suffocation in Pakistan. The initial info is that. A Long- vehicle carrying a 42Feet Container was accomodated by more than 100 Persons being rided from Afghanistan Border To Quetta ( while travled ~ 75 miles Distance up to Quetta City from the border. Upon reaching to Quette when the container door was opened , it revealed that more than 50 persons found dead due to suffucation. Now the folowing questions arises below. 1.How much the said Vehicle contained Oxygen? 2.In the presence of 100 persons , how much Oxygen being consumed by each person during their detention in Vehicle-Container? 3.If be possible, a formula caluation can be suggested for estimation of Oxygen.

Why do we need nitrogen i the atmosphere?
Without nitrogen in the atmosphere, we would be breathing in nearly pure oxygen, which would be fatal.
If you breathe in pure nitrogen what will happen?
Breathing in pure nitrogen can lead to asphyxiation, as nitrogen does not support respiration. This can result in dizziness, confusion, and ultimately coma or death due to lack of oxygen in the bloodstream. It is important to always breathe a mixture of gases that includes oxygen to sustain life.
What is nitrogen necessary for?
Nitrogen is necessary for life on earth. Without nitrogen, which makes up some 78% of the earth's atmosphere, we would be breathing in nearly pure oxygen and that would be fatal.
What kind of gas does animal and people need to stay alive?
Oxygen. But, they also need nitrogen since otherwise they would be breathing in nearly pure oxygen and that would be fatal.
Is liquid nitrogen a pure or mixure substance?
Liquid nitrogen is a pure substance. It is composed of nitrogen molecules only, with a chemical formula N2.
Is nitrogen gas toxic?
Nitrogen gas is not toxic to humans in normal atmospheric concentrations. However, breathing in pure nitrogen gas can lead to asphyxiation because it displaces oxygen in the air, leading to a lack of oxygen in the bloodstream.
Why human not die breathing mostly nitrogen in atmosphere?
Humans breathe a mixture of gases in air, not just nitrogen. Nitrogen itself is not harmful to humans in normal concentrations found in the atmosphere. However, breathing pure nitrogen can displace oxygen in the lungs and lead to asphyxiation.
Is Nitrogen Gas a Mixture or a Pure Substance?
nitrogen gas is BASICALLY JUST PLAIN NITROGEN AND THUS IT IS A PURE SUBSTANCE.
Is nitrogen a bad gas to breath?
nitrogen makes up most of our atmosphere so i should hope it's not bad to breath it. it's purpose is to dilute the oxygen in our atmosphere. things would be more flammable if the nitrogen wasn't there
Can you mix air and nitrogen in tires?
Air is 78% nitrogen, and most tyres are inflated with air, so mixing pure nitrogen with air would not be a problem.
Is nitrogen harmful to the human body?
If we were to inhale pure nitrogen, we would obviously die from lack of oxygen. Otherwise no, you have to understand that 70% of every breath you take is nitrogen
Is liquid nitrogen a pure substance or a mixture?
Liquid nitrogen is a pure substance because it consists of only nitrogen molecules in liquid form.
