Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE:INHAL:CARBON DIOXIDE IS MOST
    POWERFUL VASODILATOR. INHALING LG CONC CAUSE RAPID CIRCULATORY
    INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO COMA & DEATH. CONC OF 3% TO 5% CARBON
    DIOXIDE WHEN INHALED W/ADEQUATE OXYG IN  AIR WILL CAUSE INCR IN
    RESP RATE. HIGHER CONC WILL CAUSE HDCH, DIZZ, LABORED BRTHG &
    EVENTUAL UNCON. EFTS OF EXPOS TO HIGH CONC OF ARGON IN AIR DUE TO
    DISPLACEMENT OF OXYG NEC FOR LIFE ARE HDCH, DIZZ , LABORED BRTHG &
    EVENTUAL UNCON. OXYG DEFICIENCY DURING PREGNANCY HAS PRDCED
    DEVELOPMENTAL ABNORM IN HUMANS & EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS.OTHER EFTS OF
