Nitrogen. Not particularly more heat absorbant than any other gas. However, it cannot burn at all, which may slow down fires simply by taking up space. It can reduce the heat penalty on the SM, which will keep temperatures down.

Pure H<sub>2</sub>O. Keep away from the [[Clown]] - this slips people and even freezes tiles when released at low temperatures.

What the fuck is Carbon Dioxide!?  It's an invisible, heavy gas. It chokes people effectively and quickly, and if you can be bothered to set the alarms up, will result in a invisible room that kills those in it. Takes some setup and can be very, very annoying. Causes people to ''gasp'' at low levels.

Contained in plasma canisters. One of the two flammable gases on the station, plasma is purple and highly toxic.

Heating this enough with Tritium present will cause Plasma fusion. Make sure to take care of the absurd amount of waste products!

The result of heating Oxygen and Nitrogen to 150000k at a 1:1 ratio, with at least 5 moles of N2O.

Radioactive, flammable gas that is used in plenty of chemical reactions. Created by heating loadsa O2 with Plasma. Also, radiation collectors convert plasma into this. Tritium, though not naturally radioactive, releases radiation when it is burned. Might not want to put this into any engine unless you plan to set it on fire.
