oxygenless

Lacking breathable gas

Oxygenless means lacking or devoid of oxygen.

The word appears in scientific and technical contexts describing environments where oxygen is absent: oxygenless chambers for sensitive experiments, the oxygenless depths of certain lakes.

It functions as a more direct alternative to anoxic or anaerobic.
