Nitrogen, which condenses into a liquid at an incredibly cold temperature ( minus 320 degrees), is often used to flash-freeze food products. Though gaseous nitrogen is non-reactive and not harmful in small doses, too much of the odorless, colorless vapor can reduce the amount of oxygen in the air and cause asphyxiation. When liquid nitrogen evaporates in large amounts, the vapor can still be extremely cold and cause tissue damage from freeze burns.
Working in the hardscrabble poultry processing industry is a dangerous job, but death in a freezing fog of liquid nitrogen vapor is not among the assumed risks.
That sudden, brutal fate was shared by six employees of a Gainesville poultry plant Thursday morning after a liquid nitrogen line ruptured, killing them and injuring several of their coworkers and first responders.

有液氮的地方都得安氧气指示器 这个鸡场说窒息危险不在预期危险之中恐怕不对

可能不是窒息，而是吸入太冷氮气造成的器官损伤
是闪样窒息。超高浓度的瓦斯，氮气，都可造成。人瞬间就drop dead.

养鸡场要液氮干什么，冷淡鸡肉吗
