Are there any nonhuman health problem when using the argon element?

Niuchemist is correct. To further his answer I would like to add that it doesn't matter if whether it's an animal or human, because Argon is extremely unreactive, and the only way it can harm something is through asphyxiation due to the fact that it is heavier than air (which kills animals and humans alike).

If you are really interested in this topic, I recommend reading "The Plutonium Files," a recently published book. It reports on the negative health effects of uranium and plutonium, specifically the results of secret tests performed on civilian citizens and members of the military, by our government. (Almost all of whom were unaware they had unwittingly become guinea pigs.) Very interesting and informative.

When transuranic elements decay, the produce lots of energy. Some of this energy is in the form of photons. These photons are basicly particles of light, exept they are to high frequency to see. As such, they are very dangerous, because they can damage DNA which can lead to cancer.

Proper Voltage of Tolerance that a body can take is not harmful, but more than the tolerable can get body organs cooked.  \nElectricity never reamsin in the human body it just pass through.. for a brief millisecond...\n\n-- Hope this helps.. Goodluck =)

it is also dangerous like mercury.Be carefull when you use it.\nWhen you touch the mercury you might get poisoned.Mercury not only dangerous via mercury vapour.

If you are talking about the effects of radioactive material (alpha, beta and gamma particles) on the human body then in layman's terms prolonged exposure would lead to burns, radioactive sickness - the bodies organs deteriorate and collapse, hair and teeth start to fall out and various cancers and other serious heavy metal / radioactivity induced conditions develop, etc.

Pros: Alpha radiation sources can be used as power sources in things like pace makers and I think they are also used in smoke detectors. Also it can be used to kill cancer cells.\n\nCons: radiation can kill people or make them very ill. Can cause people to loose hair and become infertile.

Well it depends. ******** can be safe only when ********* are ****. But it can be extremely harmful if ********* isn't ******. Hope this helps. :)

I just had a sewer gas leak in my home and read all about it.  Hydrogen sulfide is a deadly poisonous gas.  Mild symptoms include burning eyes and throat. Worse is headache and nausea.  Worst is asphixiation and death.  also methane is highly flamable!  Don't risk it.  If you smell a rotton egg smell, all a plumber!ASAP  many symptoms, even from mild exposure are irrreversible!(ex. brain damage and visual impairment)

I don't believe that there is any health problems with this.  But thanks for being concerned!!!

Xenon is one of the heaviest gases\n\nAlthough xenon is not toxic, its compounds are highly toxic due to their strong oxidizing characteristics\n\nExcited xenon in a vacuum tube glows blue\n\nThe element's name derives from the Greek word xenon, which means 'stranger'

You can find many heavy metal detoxes at all health food stores and YES very high links to autism. Why take the risk, and I certainly would not listen to our medical profession, we are a very sick nation, just look around you, every one has allergies, viruses, constipation, arthritis, heart disease, cancer etc.... this should not be the norm.\nI never visit doctors any more and have never been healthier, you can do everything yourself with diet and supplements.\nCheck out the book immunizations are they really safe and effective. Shocking!!!

In a word, NO.  Now, in a much longer paragraph... :-)  After many years of study, there's not any conclusive evidence that exposure to WiFi (RF frequencies) has any effect whatsoever on living things and there are generally no health concerns, even if you placed your access point under your pillow.  RF exposure involves frequency, power and the duration of the exposure.  The human body most efficiently absorbs radio frequencies in the 30 to 300MHz range, and WiFi is at 2.4GHz.  So not only is the frequency much different, but WiFi products have strict power and RF emmissions requirements, such as 100 milliwatts maximum output power.  Plus, the WiFi RF energy is not "ionizing radiation" like it is UV light and Xrays, so WiFi frequencies pose no danger to human DNA the way prolonged sunlight UV rays cause skin cancers... What is actually of more concern is the RF energy from nearby FM radio stations!  (But they've been around much longer than WiFi, studied extensively, and again, nothing conclusive about any health concerns.)

If it were not for concerns about the health effects of\nradiation, nuclear energy would have developed quite\ndifferently.\nRadiation is not new. Although it was discovered and\nnamed as recently as 1896, we and our ancestors have\nlived with it since the beginning of time. The earth is\nnaturally radioactive, so is the air we breathe, the\nfood we eat and the ground we stand on. It is only\nwhen we are subjected to relatively large doses of\nradiation that it becomes a danger to life or health.\nModern science has allowed us to develop safe ways\nof using radiation, and of exploiting its properties for\nthe benefit of mankind. Many valuable applications\nhave been developed:\n􀁺 nuclear medicine, especially the use of X-rays\n􀁺 use of radiation to develop drugs for people with\ndiabetes, arthritis or high blood pressure\ntreatment of car tyres with radioactive materials to\nmake them more durable and puncture-resistant\nradioactive sources in photocopiers to stop the\npaper sticking together.\nThese are just a few examples. We benefit from a\nlarge range of products and services made possible by\nradioactive materials, often without even realising it.\nEverything in the world, from the air we breathe to\nthe cars we drive, is made up of atoms\nSome atoms are ‘stable’ – an ordinary carbon atom,\nwith six protons and six neutrons, will stay that way\nuntil the end of the universe unless something\ndramatic happens to it, such as being absorbed by the\nsun. Others are unstable – for example, their nuclei\nmay be too big to hold together – so they shake off\nparticles and surplus energy from their nucleus until\nthey become stable. The process of shaking off these\nparticles and energy is called ‘radioactivity’, and the\nparticles and energy which are released are known as\n‘nuclear radiation’. The process is often called\n‘radioactive decay’, since over time the radioactive\nmaterial breaks up and changes into other more stable\natoms, sometimes through several radioactive\nintermediate stages. The process can take fractions of\na second or billions of years depending on the\nradioactive material involved, but in each case the\nradioactivity of the material falls steadily.\nThere are different types of radiation, and not all\ninvolve radioactive decay. The type of radiation we\nare looking at in this booklet is ‘ionising radiation’,\nand includes artificially made X-rays (which do not\narise from radioactive decay). When this type of\nradiation bumps into other matter, it produces\nelectrically charged particles, known as ‘ions’.\nIonisation causes chemical changes in materials, and\ncan affect our bodies as well as the things around us.\nIn high quantities, ionising radiation can damage\nliving tissue and even destroy human cells. This can\nbe beneficial in some circumstances – for example,\nradiotherapy is used in the treatment of cancer, the\nradiation being used to kill cancerous cells, leaving\nother cells nearby relatively unharmed. In this sense,\nradiation is rather like a surgeon’s scalpel. Usedcarefully it can provide many benefits and can enable\nus to live longer, healthier, more comfortable lives,\nalthough it can be dangerous if misused.\nWhen we refer elsewhere in this booklet to ‘radiation’\nwe mean ionising radiation. However, there are nonionising\nradiations, such as low energy\nelectromagnetic radiation (which includes light, infrared,\nradio waves and electrical and magnetic fields\nfrom power pylons), which are not normally\ndangerous.\nThere are several types of ionising radiation, of which\nthe most important are:\n􀁺 α (alpha): streams of atomic particles (helium\nnuclei) made up of two protons and two neutrons\nwith a positive charge (+2). By atomic standards\nthese are quite big chunks of matter, so they are\nvery easily stopped. They cannot pass through\npaper, for example, or through the dead outer layer\nof our skin. However, if materials emitting alpha

It's one of the densest metals, yet non-radioactive and inexpensive  - compared with its other cousins eg. Gold. Because it is so dense and heavy, can protect us from X rays and radioactive substances. It is also malleable and was used in lead pipes which gave everyone lead poisoning.

There have been tests that suggest it MIGHT cause problems in rats...but the amount they consume is huge, we probably wouldnt eat the comparable amount (weight for weight) in a life time!  So you're OK :D

Theoretically, it will just keep halving for all of time, but this is just statistics. When there's too few atoms of the radioactive element, for statistics to apply, the half-life is no longer valid.\nFor practical uses, it is assumed that the element is roughly gone after 10 half-lives, so after 10-12 hours the effect should be negligible
