Abstract
‘Air’ is the gases that make up the atmosphere. In dry air, N2 (78.084 %), O2 (20.946 %), and Ar (0.934 %) are 99.964 % of the total.
One who neglects or disregards the existence of earth, air, fire, water and vegetation disregards his own existence which is entwined with them.
Mahavira (599–527 BCE)
