#asphyxiating

• Asphyxiating — Causing asphyxia, leading to the cessation of breathing and suffocation by preventing oxygen from entering the lungs or tissues; a dangerous gas, environment, or climate that cancels blood oxygenation. This biochemical structural phenomenon is encountered in toxic industrial emissions or enclosed spaces where carbon dioxide accumulation becomes lethal.
• Asphyxial — Causing asphyxia, relating to asphyxia, or presenting its clinical features; suffocating. In a structural and pathological sense, it describes chemical factors, gases, obstructive phenomena, or abnormal respiratory states that block air from entering the lungs or the correct oxygenation of the blood.
