Emergency Overview:
Inhalation:
May cause dizziness.
Asphyxiant.
Can cause vomiting.
May result in unconsciousness.
May cause excitation, excess salivation, rapid breathing.
May cause headaches and drowsiness.
May cause stinging of the nose and throat.
So maybe lots of warning before passing out. But like others have said,
it only happens at extreme concentrations.
Though your MSDS cites supported a point of mine previously, I try to
recall that MSDS are heavily contaminated with lawyer inputs.
I have seen the baro chamber tests that I find more convincing.
