Potential chronic health
Long term exposure to this gas has no known health effects. Can be inhaled for several hours per day for periods of several days without observable harmful effect. Inhalation Carbon dioxide/nitrogen/helium/argon gas mixtures are non-toxic at normal temperature and pressure. By diluting the oxygen concentration in air below the level necessary to support life, it can act as an asphyxiant. Effects of oxygen deficiency are 12-16% breathing and pulse rate increased, muscular coordination slightly disturbed; 10-14%: emotional upset, abnormal fatigue, disturbed respiration; 6-10%: nausea and vomiting, collapse or loss of consciousness; below 6%: convulsive movements, possible respiratory collapse and death. Ingestion Not applicable to gases. Skin Not irritating to the skin. Eye Not irritating to the eye.
