Wikipedia
Blackdamp
Blackdamp (also known as stythe or choke damp) is an asphyxiant, reducing the available oxygen content of air to a level incapable of sustaining human or animal life. It is not a single gas but a mixture of unbreathable gases left after oxygen is removed from the air and typically consists of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water vapour. The term is etymologically and practically related to terms for other underground mine gases such as fire damp, white damp, stink damp, and afterdamp.
ChatGPT
blackdamp
Blackdamp is a type of gas that can form in coal mines, typically consisting of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. It is colorless, odorless, and non-flammable, but is dangerous and potentially lethal as it displaces oxygen, leading to suffocation. The term "blackdamp" is derived from the fact that it can make a flame go out, or "dampen" it.
