	Inert gas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the noble gases an inert gas is not necessarily elemental and are often molecular gases.
		Because of their unreactivity, and perhaps their relative scarcity, the inert gases were not discovered until helium was discovered to exist in the Sun, where it is abundant, before it was discovered to exist in Earth's atmosphere.
		The elemental inert gases are usually obtained by evaporating them off from condensed air at their respective vapor pressures.

	Deaths Involving the Inadvertent Connection of Air-line Respirators to Inert Gas Supplies
		Inert gases such as helium, argon, and nitrogen are widely used in industrial settings as fire suppression blankets for flammable work in confined spaces, to operate pneumatic equipment, and to prevent oxidation in industrial processes.
		When a respirator’s air line is connected to a source of inert gas rather than to breathable air, the respirator wearer who trusts his/her sense of breathlessness to determine whether he/she is connected to breathing air has little warning before losing consciousness.
		This is because the buildup of carbon dioxide, not a lack of oxygen, ordinarily causes the sensation of breathlessness that may alert the individual wearing the respirator.

	Inert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chemistry, the term inert is used to describe something that is not chemically active.
		The noble gases were described as being inert because they did not react with the other elements or themselves.
		Now scientists know that the reason that inert gases are completely inert to basic chemical reactions (such as combustion), for example, is because their outer valence shell is completely filled with electrons.

	Inert Gas Welding
		An inert gas surrounds the arc and shields it from the ambient to prevent oxidation.
		Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding: An arc is truck between a tungsten electrode (non-consumable) and the sheet metal to be welded.
		An inert gas shields the arc from the ambient to prevent oxidation.

	PANNA: Global Pesticide Campaigner, Volume 8, Number 3, September 1998: Inert Ingredients in Pesticides.
		No label disclosure was required for inerts on Lists 2, 3 or 4.7 In addition to the limited labeling requirements, EPA also began to require testing for various inerts; however, the proposal was flawed and inconsistent from the beginning.
		For example, for new inerts, manufacturers are not required to submit data on the chemicals' ability to cause chronic toxicity, cancer or reproductive effects.8 EPA requires even less testing for potential hazards of the combination of active and inert ingredients, even though this is the chemical cocktail to which humans and the environment are exposed.
		Of these "active inerts," approximately 250 are considered "Inerts of Unknown Toxicity." Ironically, when used as an active ingredient, the name of the chemical must be disclosed on the label and the chemical is subject to a full battery of tests to determine its toxicity.

		An owner or operator that does not comply with the performance standards of WAC 173-350-040 is required to obtain a permit from the jurisdictional health department, and may be subject to the penalty provisions of RCW 70.95.315.

	Inert Ingredients in Pesticide Products \| Office of Pesticide Programs \| US EPA
		An inert ingredient means any substance (or group of structurally similar substances if designated by the Agency), other than an active ingredient, which is intentionally included in a pesticide product.
		For example, inert ingredients may serve as a solvent, allowing the pesticide's active ingredient to penetrate a plant's outer surface.
		In some instances, inert ingredients are added to extend the pesticide product's shelf-life or to protect the pesticide from degradation due to exposure to sunlight.

	Inert Ingredients Explained (June 2004)
		EPA categorizes "inert" ingredients into four groups: substances known to cause long-term health damage and harm the environment, chemicals suspected of damaging health or the environment, chemicals of unknown toxicity, and those of minimal concern.
		The Petition further notes that "inert" ingredients are not necessarily safe or inactive, and that even EPA acknowledges some "inert" ingredients are currently, or have been, listed as the "active" ingredient in many pesticide products.
		Only eight "inerts" out of approximately 2,300 "inert" ingredients are required to be listed on labels because EPA has determined them to be of "toxicological concern," despite the known and suspected toxicity that hundreds of additional "inerts" pose to public health.

	inert gas. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		They are colorless, odorless, tasteless gases and were once believed to be entirely inert, i.e., forming no chemical compounds; however, some compounds of these elements have been produced, i.e., fluorides of krypton, xenon, and radon.
		The low chemical activity of the inert gases is due to the fact that their outermost, or valence, electron shell is complete, containing two electrons in the case of helium and eight in the remaining cases.
		The inert gases are sometimes called the rare gases, although argon is not rare (it makes up about 1% of the atmosphere) and helium is commercially extracted from natural gas and the atmosphere.

		The Phase II C&D Waste and Inert Debris Disposal Regulations are thereby intended to provide a sufficient level of regulatory guidance and an appropriate level of regulatory oversight to operators of C&D waste and/or inert debris disposal operations and facilities.
		Inert debris is defined as solid waste and recyclable materials that are source separated or separated for reuse, and do not contain hazardous waste or soluble pollutants at concentrations in excess of applicable water quality objectives.
		Type B inert debris includes solid waste that is specifically determined to be inert, such as treated industrial wastes, and de-watered bentonite-based drilling mud, but excluding inert Type A debris.

	The Secret Hazards of Pesticides (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Despite the health effects EPA associates with inerts, people do not know to which chemicals they may be exposed since inerts are not identified on the label.
		Thus, the EPA does not necessarily know the identity of the inert ingredients in the pesticide products sold to the general public, and that situation may not be resolved for years to come.
		Thus, the survey shows that inerts information is generally not available to the public; most companies continue to withhold the identity of inert ingredients under a claim of confidentiality.

	Environmental Health Perspectives 103, Number 6, June 1995: Focus
		Section 2m of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) states: "The term 'inert ingredient' means an ingredient which is not active." In actual practice, pesticide manufacturers decide what to call inert and what to designate as an active ingredient subject to EPA regulation.
		Inert ingredients are low priority, accounting for under 1% of the Office of Pesticide Programs budget, as the EPA still has many older (pre-1972) active ingredients that need to be reregistered and evaluated for health effects under FIFRA.
		It could also be just water." Though inerts are trade secrets protected by law from disclosure, it is widely believed that pesticide companies know their competitors' inert ingredients, as reverse engineering is relatively simple with today's technology.
