Is there a hazard using a 4/96% hydrogen/nitrogen blend if it is released to the air?

If the concentration of hydrogen is less than the Lower Flammability Limit (LFL) of 4% in an inert gas, it is unlikely that a leak of this gas mix will form a flammable mixture as it dilutes into air. For example, industry uses ‘forming gas’, a mixture of 4 to 5% H2 in nitrogen, as an oxide reducing agent in materials processing furnaces and soldering operations. This mixture can also be used in conjunction with a hydrogen detector for leak testing gaseous hydrogen equipment.
