Routes of exposure: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation.
Inhalation risk: On loss of containment this liquid evaporates very quickly causing supersaturation of the air with serious risk of suffocation when in confined areas.
Effects of exposure: Inhalation: Simple asphyxiant. Skin: On contact with liquid: frostbite. Eyes: On contact with liquid: frostbite.
Inhalation: This gas is inert and is classified as a simple asphyxiant. Inhalation in excessive concentrations can result in dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, and death. Death may result from errors in judgment, confusion, or loss of consciousness which prevent self-rescue. At low oxygen concentrations, unconsciousness and death may occur in seconds without warning.
The effect of simple asphyxiant gases is proportional to the extent to which they diminish the amount (partial pressure) of oxygen in the air that is breathed. The oxygen may be diminished to 75% of it's normal percentage in air before appreciable symptoms develop. This in turn requires the presence of a simple asphyxiant in a concentration of 33% in the mixture of air and gas. When the simple asphyxiant reaches a concentration of 50%, marked symptoms can be produced. A concentration of 75% is fatal in a matter of minutes.
Symptoms: The first symptoms produced by a simple asphyxiant are rapid respirations and air hunger. Mental alertness is diminished and muscular coordination is impaired. Later judgment becomes faulty and all sensations are depressed. Emotional instability often results and fatigue occurs rapidly. As the asphyxia progresses, there may be nausea and vomiting, prostration and loss of consciousness, and finally convulsions, deep coma and death.

What are the environmental effects of neon?
Neon gas itself is not harmful to the environment because it is inert and non-reactive. However, the production of neon gas involves energy-intensive processes that can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Improper disposal of neon signs or other products containing neon could potentially release the gas into the atmosphere, where it could contribute to ozone depletion.

Is neon mixture?
Neon is an inert gas found in the atmosphere. When combined with other elements, it can form neon mixtures in various applications, such as neon lights where it is mixed with other gases to create different colors. Neon mixtures are often used to produce bright, colorful lighting effects.
