Although argon is non-toxic, it does not satisfy the body's need for oxygen and is a simple asphyxiant. People have suffocated by accidentally breathing argon, although there have been few reports of this happening. No known ecological damage caused by argon. No adverse environmental consequences are expected. Argon gas occurs naturally in the environment. The gas will dissipate rapidly in well ventilated areas. The effects of argon on plants or animals is not currently known. It is not expected to harm aquatic life. Argon does not contain any ozone depleting chemicals and is not listed as a marine pollutant by DOT (Department of Transportation, USA).
