It is commonly employed as an anesthetic and analgesic in medical settings, a propellant in food products, and as an oxidizer in rocket propulsion. Nitrous oxide is also used for its euphoric effects in recreational use. Proper handling and storage of nitrous oxide are essential to prevent leaks and ensure safety. Safety measures should include the use of appropriate gas cylinders, proper ventilation, and adherence to industry standards.
