WebElements Periodic Table of the Elements | Neon

Neon: biological information

Biological role of neon: neon has no biological role.

Levels in humans

Table: the abundances of the elements in humans.
Human abundance by weight	no data ppb by weight
Human abundance by atoms	no data atoms relative to C = 1000000

How much neon is in your body? Find out here.

You can use this form to calculate how much neon your body contains. Enter your weight in either kilograms or pounds and click the "Calculate" button. You must enter a number, not text! Elements for which there are no data will always give a value of zero for the weight, no matter what you put in the weight box.

Hazards and Risks

Hazards and risks associated with neon: neon gas is not toxic but in principle it could asphyxiate through denying the body access to oxygen.
