Detailed explanation-1: -* Breathing pure Oxygen at high pressures can cause nausea, dizziness, muscle twitching, vision loss, convulsions (fits), and loss of consciousness. * Breathing pure Oxygen for a long time can irritate the lungs causing coughing and/or shortness of breath.
Detailed explanation-2: -Don’t Use Aerosols, Vapor Rubs or Oils Aerosols are very flammable. Avoid flammable creams and lotions such as vapor rubs, petroleum jelly or oil-based hand lotion. Use water-based products instead. Never oil the oxygen unit, and don’t use it with oily or greasy hands.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, anything that can burn will burn much faster in an oxygen-rich environment. Oxygen should never be used near an open flame or anything that can produce intense heat, flames or sparks, such as a burning cigarette, a lighted match, heaters, heating pads, hair dryers, a stove or a pilot light.
