I was watching hamilton’s pharmacopeia and he was inhaling xenon and seemed to think it was pretty safe. As a layman, my intuition tells me inhaling anything besides oxygen is not safe. Why can you breath pure gases other than oxygen and be fine?
In: Biology
It’s not that they are “safe” Nobel gasses are inert and displace oxygen., If you inhale enough of it you will die from inert gas asphyxiation. The reason it’s safe to inhale in general is due to these being gasses diluted in the oxygen you breathe anyways.
