    BURNS. BREATHING OF PURE OXYGEN AT 60% M AY PRODUCE COUGH & CHEST
    PAIN, CNS MANIFESTATIONS. INFANTS EXPOSED TO 35-40% OXYGEN MAY
    SUFFER PERMANENT VISUAL DAMAGE.
Effects of Overexposure:WHEN EXPOSED TO 60% OXYGEN, SYMPTOMS INCLUDE
    COUGHING AND CHEST PAIN. THESE SYMPTOMS MAY BE SEEN IN SEVERAL
    DAYS. AT TWO ATMOSPHERES SYMPTOMS OCCUR IN 2-3 HOURS. INFANTS
    EXPOSED TO OXYGEN LEVELS IN EX CESS OF 35-40% MAY SUFFER PERNAMENT
    VISUAL IMPAIRMENT OR BLINDNESS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
