Humans do not actually need nitrogen to survive, like oxygen, but it is an important part of DNA and many amino acids. Thus, nitrogen is an important part of our cells and our life.

Humans need nitrogen because it is essential for forming proteins and nucleic acids. While nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere as N₂, it must be converted to usable forms through biological processes or industrial methods. This nitrogen is then absorbed by plants and passed on to humans through the food chain.
