Nitrogen is an element that is extremely important to the chemical industry.  Traditionally, it was used to create products, such as fertiliser, explosives and dyes.  It also plays a prominent role in the creation of transistors, diodes, stainless steel and other steel products.  Nowadays, however, it is proving itself to be of great use in environments closer to home, such as the catering industry and motor racing, and it is even used to power paintball guns.

Nitrogen is particularly effective for the creation of an atmosphere that is non-reactive, which means that it is successfully used to preserve biological matter, such as food, sperm, stem cells, and other biological matter used for medical or reproductive purposes.  Because nitrogen is a refrigerant that can freeze biological matter very rapidly, there is very little loss of moisture, and it is particularly good for preserving taste, texture and colour in foods.  Nitrogen is an element found in the atmosphere around us. It makes up about 78% of the air that we breathe and can be found in any living organism.  It is odourless, tasteless and colourless, and has a boiling point of 196°C.
