SS13's robust atmospheric system has been simplified, but you will still have to be wary of the air around you. To quickly check whether or not you can take off that gas mask, you can use an atmos analyzer or the built-in version on your PDA.
Gas comes in three storage containers: emergency tanks (can fit on the belt), ordinary tanks (can fit on the back slot) or canisters (can only be dragged). Certain Cyborg modules can pick up and carry any gas container.
Air
A mixture consisting of 79% N2 and 21% O2, or in other words what you are generally breathing. Spare canisters can be found in toxin research, emergency storage and the various air hookups.
Note: Don't be tempted to top off your jetpack with regular air. It only works with pure oxygen.
Oxygen
In the future, pure oxygen is safe to breathe! Canisters are readily available in toxin research, engineering, EVA and on the mining outpost. By default, jetpacks also contain 100% O2.
Note: Keep in mind that oxygen fuels fire.
Plasma
The true purpose of SS13's research. It is a purple gas that is highly toxic and highly flammable, hence breathing plasma is a bad idea. It is the main ingredient in making bombs, powering the station and hellish station-consuming fires. Logically enough, plasma canisters are stored in toxin research and engineering.
Note: It's extremely flammable. Creating sparks or carrying any sort of lit object (welder, cigarette, cakehat) into a butt of plasma will ignite it, setting off a fire that will quickly spread.
Carbon Dioxide
Invisible but deadly. Inhaling CO2 will make you cough, eventually fall unconscious and suffocate if you're not moved to an area with proper atmosphere. CO2 canisters are available in toxins research and engineering.
N2
Part of the standard air mixture. It is a safe gas to use in the engine, but does not produce much power. A couple of canisters start in toxin research and engineering.
N2O
Knock-out or laughing gas, exposure to which will quickly render you unconscious. Recognizable by the white particles it leaves in the air. A canister can be found in the armory and the tanks in medbay's anesthetic locker also contain N2O.
