How to Make Cryopreservation Safer?

A liquid nitrogen leak at a Georgia poultry plant killed six people Thursday and left several others hospitalized, including a firefighter who responded, local officials said. At least three of those injured at the Foundation Foods Group plant in Gainesville were reported in critical condition.

Nitrogen is a naturally occurring element needed for both growth and reproduction in plants and animals. It is also found in the air we breathe. When it is substantially cooled, it can become liquid.

Liquid nitrogen is so cold that it freezes anything it touches, according to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It clocks in around 320 degrees below freezing. Because it's so cold, liquid nitrogen immediately boils when it touches anything room temperature, which is what causes the cloudy smoke seen in fancy cocktails and frozen desserts.

When liquid nitrogen is exposed to the air, it can turn into a gas. Oxygen levels can drop when this happens and can lead to headaches, lightheadedness and even the loss of consciousness.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, liquid nitrogen is non-toxic but can cause severe damage to skin and internal organs if mishandled or ingested because of the extremely low temperatures it maintains. (via NBC News)
