In general none. However, argon is often used to clear out tanks which are filled with explosive or combustible gases. Argon, being a dense gas will collect at the bottom of such a tank and poses a risk of death by asphyxiation.

Is argon gas bad for you?

Argon gas is generally considered non-toxic and does not pose a health risk to humans in normal conditions. However, like any gas, inhaling large quantities of argon can displace oxygen in the air and lead to asphyxiation. It's important to use argon gas in a well-ventilated area to prevent any potential safety hazards.


Do you need argon to live?

No. Argon is an inert gas that only makes up 1% of air. It is of little consequence to us.


Can argon be stored with oxygen or acetylene?

Argon is an inert gas- it does not react with any other gasses. While fuel gasses (acetylene) and oxygen must be separated during storage due to the fire hazard, there IS no fire hazard from an inert gas. It may be stored with fuel gasses or with oxygen.


What toxic effects does argon have on humans?

Argon is a noble gas and is generally considered non-toxic to humans. Inhaling argon in its pure form is not harmful as it is chemically inert and non-reactive. However, if argon displaces oxygen in an enclosed space, it can lead to asphyxiation due to oxygen deprivation.


What are the health hazards of argon?

Argon is an inert gas. It is non-toxic and can only present a problem if it displaces air (or the oxygen in air). This may lead to suffocation. As long as there is "enough" oxygen in the air you breathe, any argon you breathe won't affect you.
