The basic uses of nitrogen
Nitrogen is used nowadays in a wide range of activities. Its range of use varies from food industry to medical purposes.
In agriculture, almost all commercial fertilizers are nitrogen based. In large amounts, such fertilizers erode and decay the soil and pollute the waters, but when they are used correctly, they contribute to extend food production. Natural fertilizers also release nitrogen, but they are more environment friendly.
Nitrogen is being used in laboratories and medical facilities for preserving different organisms and in producing cures for diseases such as Anthrax.
In medicine, liquid nitrogen is used in performing surgeries. The general advantages of this therapy are its ease of use, its low cost, and its good cosmetic results. Most skin cancers are treated with excision or other destructive procedures, such as electrodessication and curettage. Superficial basal cell skin cancers and Bowen disease can be treated with liquid nitrogen...
