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.

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.
