Information
has glosseng: Nitrogen asphyxiation is an occasional cause of accidental death and a theoretical method of capital punishment advocated in a National Review article, "Killing with kindness – capital punishment by nitrogen asphyxiation" (Creque 1995). The painful experience of suffocation is not caused by lack of oxygen intake in humans, but rather because of a buildup of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream which is exhaled under normal circumstances. Because of this property, nitrogen in German is called "Stickstoff" ("suffocation matter").
