InhalationDue to the higher density of xenon compared to air, the speed of sound is slower than in air. This means that when inhaled, it will produce a lower voice pitch [8].
Xenon has been shown to have antiapoptotic activity by inhibiting the apoptotic activation of caspase-3 [6]. Xe(g) is a potent growth inhibitor for Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Tetrahymena thermophila at low pressure [7]. |
