Question

What happens if we breathe hydrogen?​

Answer 1

Inhalation: High concentrations of this gas can cause an oxygen-deficient environment. Individuals breathing such an atmosphere may experience symptoms which include headaches, ringing in ears, dizziness, drowsiness, unconsciousness, nausea, vomiting and depression of all the senses.

Answer 2

H2 gas is not toxic, but it does not support metabolism, so is an asphyxiant. However, H2 gas is also highly flammable, so the effects of exhaling H2 in the presence of a flame or other source of ignition could quickly prove fatal, because the almost explosive flame would propagate deep into the lungs, which is not a pretty thing to think about.Fortunately, under normal circumstances H2 gas poses very little inhalation hazard because it rapidly vents directly up and away due to the fact that it is 14 times lighter than air. All that’s required for this is a reasonably well ventilated area where H2 is stored or handled.It would be very unwise to play games with H2-filled balloons in the same way that people do with helium to get “Donald Duck” voice. Helium is also an asphyxiant, but it is not flammable. So, the primary effect of inhaling helium from a balloon for a single breath is a bit of lightheadedness that quickly goes away after taking a few breaths. Helium is often used as a replacement for atmospheric nitrogen for long-duration divers. Hydrogen would be wholly unsuitable for such uses.
