NO2 is nitrogen dioxide - one of the most prominent
air pollutants. NO2 is a toxic, reddish-brown
gas with a sharp, biting odor.
often confused with lesser oxides of nitrogen (NO and N2O).
NO is nitric oxide - a highly unstable
gas and a toxic
air pollutant. nitric oxide (not nitrogen dioxide) PRECURSORS are often used in bodybuilding supplements (not the
gas itself). nitric oxide has nothing at all to do with creatine.
N2O is nitrous oxide - a colourless, slightly toxic
gas with a pleasant,
sweet odor and taste. this
gas has many uses:
- as an aerosol propellant
- as a performance enhancer in vehicle racing
- as an inhalant, medically (as an anaesthetic, particularly in dentistry) and recreationally (for the euphoria and hallucinations it produces). automobile nitrous MUSTN'T be used for this purpose, since most of it has sulfur dioxide added to prevent recreational use.
NO2 is not the same thing as N2O.
NO2
will corrode your engine if you
try to use it as a performance enhancer.
if you inhale it, you'll
definately get fucked up... but not in a good way.
