I have tried searching all over the internet on some health issues about the element "neon". I need to know if there are some environmental, or health issues about neon. Also is neon present in the human body, and if so, can you tell me what food(s) it comes from and what its potential health benefits and risks are.
Thank You.

Neon is a gas as normal temperatures, and it is very non-reactive, like all the other noble gases. (far right side of the periodic table of elements: outer shell of electrons is full.)
It doesn't readily combine with any other elements. So, you won't find it in your food, and it won't have any effect on you. It exists in VERY small quantities in rocks and in our atmosphere.
It won't cause you any harm.
