Possible to Test for?	NO
Detection Period in Urine	N/A
Detection Period in Blood	?

It may not be possible to test for the presence of nitrous oxide in blood because it is eliminated from the blood through the lungs very quickly after use. Unless there is a particular reason to be looking for it, as in the case of an autopsy...it is extremely unlikely that most people will ever run into this test. It is not one of the NIDA-5 standardly tested for in the basic drug test, nor is it included in the extended drug tests. It is not chemically similar to any of the drugs tested for, so should not trigger the tests as another substance.

If you know anything else about nitrous oxide and drug testing, let us know.
