Potential health effects of argon gas



Potential health effects



Inhalation: simple asphyxiation. Argon is non-toxic but may cause asphyxiation due to the replacement of oxygen in the air. Hypoxia can cause a series of injuries or death.



1)Eye contact: no further effects



2)Skin contact: no further effects



3)Exposed information: None



4Entry path: Inhalation



5)Organ damage: none



6)Impact: Suffocation



7)Symptoms: Exposure to an oxygen deficiency atmosphere (oxygen content below 19.5%) can lead to dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting and excessive secretion of saliva, decreased alertness, unconsciousness and death. Exposure to an oxygen content of 8-10% or less will cause people to quickly become unable to help themselves and unconsciously lose consciousness



8)Worst disease due to excessive exposure: none



9)Carcinogenicity: Argon is not listed as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen by NTP, OSHA Subpart Z or IARC.
