    NTP, IARC, OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION:SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO THAT OF BEING
    INTOXICATED. AT HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS, MAY EXCLUDE AN ADEQUATE
    SUPPLY OF OXYGEN TO THE LUNGS CAUSING UNCONSCIOUSNESS.

*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INHALATION:REMOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR. IF UNCONSCIOUS, GIVE
    MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION. GIVE SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN IF
    NECESSARY. PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF
    OVEREXPOSURE TO A CETYLENE.
