Since Argon-40 is a stable isotope, I assume that the underlying error is within the EF 3.0 unit definition of kBq for Argon-40. In fact it should be kg (?). I reported this error already to the EC/JRC that it can be hopefully fixed with the next EF release.
In the meantime I would suggest to update the ecoinventEFv3.7-ILCD-EFv3.0.xlsx (and probably other mapping files for ILCD) in order to use a conversion factor of 0 or to mark Argon-40 to be dropped for not creating errors in the resulting ILCD files.
I saw that in https://github.com/UNEP-Economy-Division/GLAD-ElementaryFlowResources/blob/master/Mapping/Output/Mapped_files/ecoinventEFv3.7-ILCD-EFv3.0.xlsx Argon-40 is mapped without conversion factor from kg in ecoinvent to kBq in ILCD:
