Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:AIR IS NONTOXIC AND NECESSARY TO
SUPPORT LIFE. INHALATION OF AIR IN A HIGH PRESSURE ENVIRONMENT
SUCH AS UNDERWATER DIVING, CAISSONS OR HYPERBARIC CHAMBERS CAN
RESULT IN SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO OVEREXPOSU RE TO PURE OXYGEN. THESE
INCLUDE TINGLING OF FINGERS AND TOES, ABNORMAL SENSATIONS, IMPAIRED
COORDINATION AND CONFUSION. DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS PAINS OR
"BENDS" ARE POSSIBLE FOLLOWING RAPID DECOMPRE SSION. HIGH PRESSURE
EFFECTS (GREATER THAN TWO ATMOSPHERES OF OXYGEN) ARE ON THE CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM. IMPROPER DECOMPRESSION RESULTS IN THE ACCUMULATION
OF NITROGEN IN THE BLOOD.
Effects of Overexposure:AIR IS NONTOXIC AND NECESSARY TO SUPPORT LIFE.
