There is a PPH video wherein Philip discusses this, and if I recall what struck me is that azide requires special storage and could put first responders at risk.

Azides (particularly sodium azide) form explosive compounds when mixed with metals. Higher reactive and unstable (shock sensitive). So not a thing to fool around with IMO.
I dealt with hazmat for a time in my career and that stuff scared everyone- especially the fire department.

Hey Phillistine,
Don't mean to hijack this thread but off topic will my method (nitrogen gas via exit bag) necessitate the hazmat? I know it poses zero risk to anyone but if I leave a note to first responders wxplaining my method will they typically follow this or will hazmat automatically be called in?
Depends on local first resonders protocol - if they suspect an oxygen deficient environment they would call. EMS wouldn't know and even with an explanation would probably defer to fire department with a 4-gas meter to verify.
First responders motto - when in doubt "sniff" it out (i.e. use a meter)
