Best Answer

Argon is non-toxic and so does not affect people in any significant way. It is significantly denser than the other gases in air and so, in an enclosed space, it can fill the lower layers. This could result in death by asphyxiation - particularly because, being inert, argon is often used in tanks which could contain explosive fumes.
