Wikipedia
Nitrogen (pronounced /ˈnaɪtɹəʤɪn/) is a chemical element that has the symbol N and atomic number 7 and atomic mass 14.00674µ. Elemental nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and mostly inert diatomic gas at standard conditions, constituting 78% by volume of Earth's atmosphere.

I do not think we need to worry about oxidation with nitrogen, only from oxygen and oxygen compounds, water, salt and ozone, acid rain etc.
