I inhaled an unkown gas, should i get checked for cancer?

Not necessarily: There are very few such chemicals -in gases hat can cause cancer. So i would not worry about so many gases which we are commonly exposed to. Just avoid excessive exposure to perochemicals (and of course the old culprits like chemical-war gases).
