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.
