A gas that displaces air at the same pressure, and has lower density. Be nice if it did not burst into flames when tied to a tower and static charges equiibrate (ala. Hindenburg) Helium does NOT burst into flames. Hydrogen is what was used in some airships that caused explosions. Helium is an inert gas so it does not mix in any chemical reactiion or explosion. Therefore the 2nd property is that it does NOT explode.

What are the toxicity of helium?

Helium is non-toxic because it is an inert gas that is not reactive with other chemicals in the body. Inhaling helium in large amounts can displace oxygen in the lungs and lead to asphyxiation, so it should only be used in well-ventilated areas.


What can heilum do to your vocal cord?

Helium will vibrate your vocal chords, like "normal" air does, but since helium is lighter than the air we normally breathe and has different properties it causes the vocal chords to resonate at a much higher pitch. That's why people sound as if their voice is a sped-up recording when they talk after breathing it. Though it's amusing on occasion, breathing helium in regularly probably is not a good idea. It might not permanently damage the vocal chords, but anything breathed into the lungs will likely eventually make it into the bloodstream and then the veins. You don't want helium to replace the oxygen that normally travels to your brain. In fact, if you were in a sealed room filled with more helium than normal air you would probably suffer brain damage or death from oxygen deprivation.
