The health and Safety issues is that when it is a liquid getting in your eye and if you have a little child the child breaking it and eating or smelling it because i think you can lose brain cells if you inhale it for a long period of time.

The safety problems come in its use. To create neon light you must excite it with high voltage electricity, so follow the safety rules for working with electricity.

The gas itself doesn't present any. It is non toxic, non flammable, chemically inert and lighter than air so if it gets released into the atmosphere it just floats away.

Don't inhale neon. I think it can kill you. I'll research that some more though.
wow!! I learned something new today!! never new that. I hope this answers your question.
Neon gas is not toxic at normal temperature and pressure. However, like other inert gases such as nitrogen and argon, neon is a simple asphyxiant. Simple asphyxiants can displace oxygen in the air, especially in a confined space. The lack of oxygen then causes the victim to suffocate. Proper ventilation is required.
