Xenon gas is odorless, colorless, tasteless, nontoxic, monatomic and chemically inert. The concentration of Xenon gas in the atmosphere, by volume percent,
is 8.7 x 10-6. Xenon gas is principally shipped and used in gaseous form for excimer lasers, light bulbs, window insulation, ion propulsion, medical applications and Research and Development laboratory research. Spectra Gases Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available for Xenon and should be used as guidelines in regard to first aid, methods of storage, handling and general use of Xenon gas.
