Neon is a rare gaseous element present in the atmosphere to the extent of 1 part in 65,000 parts of air.

NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 1,416 workers (125 of these were female) were potentially exposed to neon in the US(1).

Inhalation Exposure: Dizziness. Lethargy. Headache. Suffocation.

...The anesthetic properties of helium and neon at hyperbaric pressures /were assessed/ by testing their capacity to decrease anesthetic requirement for desflurane using electrical stimulation of the tail as the anesthetic endpoint (ie, the minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration [MAC]) in rats. Partial pressures of helium or neon near those predicted to produce anesthesia by the Meyer-Overton hypothesis (approximately 80-90 atm), tended to increase desflurane MAC, and these partial pressures of helium and neon produced convulsions when administered alone. ... It has been thought that the high pressures of helium and neon that might be needed to produce anesthesia, antagonize their anesthetic properties (pressure reversal of anesthesia). /The authors/ propose an alternative explanatio...

Other Poison - Simple Asphyxiant

/OTHER TOXICITY INFORMATION/ Neon is among the number of gases and vapors that, when present in high concentrations in air, act primarily as simple asphyxiants without other significant physiologic effects.

Advanced treatment: Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in the patient who is unconscious or is in severe respiratory distress. Monitor cardiac rhythm and treat arrhythmias if necessary ... . Start IV administration of D5W /SRP: "To keep open", minimal flow rate/. Treat seizures with diazepam or lorazepam ... . /Simple asphyxiants and related compounds/
