'''INERGEN''' ® is a federally registered trademark of Tyco Fire Products LP.  Tyco’s INERGEN® is a blend of inert atmospheric gases that contains 52% nitrogen, 40% argon, 8% carbon dioxide, used for fire suppression system agent. It is considered a clean agent for use in gaseous fire suppression applications. INERGEN® does not contain halocarbons, and has no ozone depletion potential. It is non-toxic. INERGEN® is used at design concentrations of 35-50% to lower the concentration of oxygen to a point that cannot support combustion, but still safe for humans.

INERGEN® and competing fire suppression blends have replaced the use of CO<sub>2</sub> in fixed firefighting applications due to the dangers associated with lack of oxygen following activation of a CO<sub>2 system. 

A component of INERGEN® fire suppression composition is carbon dioxide, which allows the human body to adapt to the environment of reduced oxygen that is present after discharge of agent. Discharge of INERGEN® results in an approximate 2% concentration of carbon dioxide within the space. This directs the human body to take deeper breaths and to make more efficient use of t(contracted; show full)
