Ignorance of SCIENCE at the most basic level is commonplace and worrisome.

HUGE sections of the public are totally clueless...

Ok, so for the benefit of those of us who are chemically ignorant, the gas they are (hopefully) using is presumably nitorous oxide, N₂O, 'laughing gas' and 'cream supplies', rather than for instance nitrogen dioxide, NO₂? Or is the point something else? Wiki describes both those and many others as 'nitrogen oxide'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_oxide

Then mean Liquid nitrogen (N₂): toothy comestibles, for the flash-freezing of. They actually got that right in the article.

Nitrogen oxides, of course, make up an excessive amount of Birmingham's atmosphere, due to 50 years of relentless fitting more cars in.

Ah, I didn't actually read the article (

). I assumed they were using nitrous oxide for making soft bubbliness, mr whippy style.

I am not sure.
I think they are using liquid nitrogen - N₂, which is VERY VERY COLD. It's harmless if not cold, if there's adequate oxygen in the air and ventilation.

A liquefied gas expands ENORMOUSLY as it boils, which can also be dangerous.

Obviously N₂O laughing gas, is not N₂ nitrogen is not NO₂ nitrogen dioxide, a nasty brown gas that forms nitric acid with water.

LN2 is what you want for ice-cream making purposes; because it's so cold it flash-freezes your ice-cream mixture, giving very small ice crystals and a lovely smooooth texture.

Living in a house full of Imperial students, among them a PhD chemist, LN2 ice-cream was a staple of our parties. Quite how he managed to repeatedly transport a steaming dewar of liquid nitrogen from South Kensington to Putney on the bus without getting nicked - post 9/11 as well - I'm not entirely sure.

We were obviously quite concerned when the fellas said they had been chased by wild animals, especially given all the recent reports of wild cats in Cumbria.
Once we arrived it quickly became apparent that men had been chased by a couple of Herdwicks.
