Neon and argon gas by themselves are not. They are inert. As with standard fluorescent tubes, the minute droplets of Mercury present in some colors are safe as long as the tube is not broken. Improper handling can be a threat to both the environment and health. Many modern neon shops refuse repair of broken argon-mercury tubes for this reason. Neon is powered by voltages in the 2,000 to 15,000 volt range. Even though the current is in the milliamp range, if a neon piece is not properly mounted, wired, and insulated this voltage poses both a shock and fire hazard. This is an area where cheapness does not pay off. A well constructed neon piece should be problem free for many years.

∙ 13y agoThe element neon does not become involved in chemical reactions. it could only become harmful if you breathed neon instead of air. It is not dangerous if some blows on your face. It is dangerous if you breathe straight neon.

∙ 11y agoYes and no ... mixed with the air it is not dangerous because it is not a poison.
If you were in a room where all air was removed and filled with neon it would kill you because there would be no oxygen to keep ypu alive.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIt really depends if it is a gas or liquid. It is not toxic, but can cause asphyxiation if there is too much in the room and thus reduces the oxygen content. It is completely nonflammable.
