“Nitrogen and CO2” mixes are widely used for Beer Dispensing.
PureMix 40C is a mixture of 40% Carbon Dioxide gas with 60% Nitrogen gas for dispensing of draft beer.
Carbon dioxide makes up only 0.0415% of the air we breathe, (or 415 p.p.m. (parts per million.)) & has varying effects as the % concentration in air increases.
As with all the gases in the air we breathe, Carbon dioxide is colourless and odourless gas. Additional Carbon dioxide is exhaled due to the bodie’s metabolic activities.
It is largely inert and is neither flammable nor supports combustion & is used in some fire extinguishers.
At a density 1.87 kg/m3 (1.55 relative to air at normal atmospheric conditions) it is markedly denser than air so it is potentially extremely dangerous if inadvertently released in a cellar.

Application
Hazards
Carbon Dioxide at this high concentration acts largely as an asphyxiant and must not be inhaled.
Carbon dioxide is largely inert & non-toxic & non-flammable, so from the point of fires is relatively safe.
Carbon Dioxide at this high concentration is “Not just an asphyxiant!” but has Physiological Hazards.

When accidentally released in say a beverage cellar, it can be particularly nasty & can be fatal
