Acetylene (Figure 13.1) is widely used as a chemical raw material and fuel for oxyacetylene torches. It was once the principal raw material for the manufacture of vinyl chloride (see reaction 13.2.4), but other synthetic routes are now used. Acetylene is a colorless gas with an odor resembling garlic. Though not notably toxic, it acts as an asphyxiant and narcotic and has been used for anesthesia. Exposure can cause headache, dizziness, and gastric disturbances. Some adverse effects from exposure to acetylene may be due to the presence of impurities in the commercial product.

Although tellurium in elemental form has low toxicity, ingestion can produce nausea, vomiting, tremors, convulsions, and central nervous system depression. In addition, exposure to the metal or to its compounds can generate garlic-like odor in breath, sweat, and urine. Such odor is imparted by dimethyl telluride that is formed in the body. Oral intake of large doses of the metal or its compounds can be lethal. Clinical symptoms are similar for most tellurium salts, which include headache, drowsiness, loss of appetite, nausea, tremors, and convulsions. High exposure can produce metallic taste, dry throat, chill and other symptoms. Inhalation of dust or fume of the metal can cause irritation of the respiratory tract. Chronic exposure can produce bronchitis and pneumonia.
