But why would it even be bad behavior to use "food grade" Xenon? They extract it from air, and they're going to mix it with air again.

- mlindner 2y agoBecause the contaminants in that 0.01% can be byproducts of the refining process and not necessarily what was in the air originally.
- andrewflnr 2y agoLike what, lubrication from the air liquification equipment? I guess I don't know much about the details of the process, but I really don't know what the contaminants would be.
- lazide 2y agoYes, or random things like minor amounts of carbon monoxide or nitrous oxide or what have you. One reason why it’s not a good idea to use a normal air compressor to breath from (or compress air for cylinders), is precisely because of issues like this.
