Less than an inch thick, each panel consists of four layers of glass infused with
nontoxic gas and phosphorous compounds.
An asphyxiant gas is
a nontoxic gas which reduces or displaces the normal oxygen concentration in breathing air.
Domestic industries can make it from a range of chemical feedstocks and energy sources (for instance, from renewable, nuclear and fossil - fuel sources), and
the nontoxic gas could serve as a virtually pollution - free energy carrier for machines of many kinds.
For instance, catalytic gas converters use platinum - based metals to transform harmful emissions such as carbon monoxide into
nontoxic gases by adding oxygen.
