Helium is nontoxic & no adverse effect in veins.

Why Krypton or Xenon not use they are also inert gases ?

What is the chemical formula of krypton ?

But why inert gas is mixed with oxygen during deep sea diving?
Kriti said:

Well, oxygen does not dissolve directly into blood under high pressure existing in the deep sea, hence inert gas like helium is mixed with oxygen during deep sea diving. I hope its clear.

Oxygen get solid state under high pressure. So, it does not dissolve into blood under high pressure existing in the deep sea. Helium helps to keep it gas state.

Deep sea divers take oxygen mixed with inert gas say He and adjust the partial pressure of oxygen according to the requirement. Actually, in sea after every 100 feet depth, the divers experiences approximately 3 atm pressure, subnormal air cannot be breathed in depth of sea, moreover, the pressure of n2 increases in depth of sea and it diffuses in the blood.

Since Helium is a inert gas and makes no reaction.

Helium is non toxic and lightest gas in inert gasses.

Helium is a non toxic that doesn't react with blood.
