Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death. Dihydrogen monoxide: is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, disease-causing agents and environmental hazards. It can also be lethal to humans, even in small quantities. Consider the following. The dangers of DHMO have increased as world population has gone up. Here are some known dangers. Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage. Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant, though not typically life threatening side effects. DHMO is a major component of acid rain. Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns. It contributes to soil erosion and leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals. It has been employed as a hoax to evoke fear in the minds of people who are scientifically uninformed. This term is never used by actual scientists, that is, unless they are behind a pranking attempt.
The story listed a number of alarming safety concerns related to a substance made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom H2O called dihydrogen monoxide , or water. The term, though virtually unused by the scientific community, does generally follow conventions for naming compounds.
This time, four boys between the ages of 14—16 distributed fliers cautioning people to call an number if they suspected their water was contaminated with dihydrogen monoxide. What you may find surprising are some of the products and places where DHMO is used, but which for one reason or another, are not normally made part of public presentations on the dangers to the lives of our family members and friends.
Among these startling uses are: as an additive to food products, including jarred baby food and baby formula, and even in many soups, carbonated beverages and supposedly "all-natural" fruit juices in cough medicines and other liquid pharmaceuticals, in spray-on oven cleaners, in shampoos, shaving creams, deodorants and numerous other bathroom products, in bathtub bubble products marketed to children, as a preservative in grocery store fresh produce sections, in the production of beer by all the major beer distributors, in the coffee available at major coffee houses in the US and abroad, in Formula One race cars, although its use is regulated by the Formula One Racing Commission, and as a target of ongoing NASA planetary and stellar research.
One of the most surprising facts recently revealed about Dihydrogen Monoxide contamination is in its use as a food and produce "decontaminant.
The incidence of gun violence seems to be rising at an alarming rate. A recent stunning revelation is that in every single instance of violence involving guns, both in the U. In fact, DHMO is often very available to those who would do harm to others. Meanwhile, apparently no efforts have been made to limit the availability of this potentially dangerous chemical compound. Unfortunately, DHMO overdose is not unheard of in patients undergoing dialysis treatments for kidney failure.
Dihydrogen Monoxide overdose in these patients can result in congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema and hypertension. In spite of the danger of accidental overdose and the inherent toxicity of DHMO in large quantities for this group, there is a portion of the dialysis treated population that continues to use DHMO on a regular basis. In spite of overwhelming evidence, there is one group in California that opposes a ban on Dihydrogen Monoxide.
Members claim that Dihydrogen Monoxide, or the less emotionally charged and more chemically accurate term they advocate for it, "Hydrogen Hydroxide," is beneficial, environmentally safe, benign and naturally occurring.
They argue that efforts to ban DHMO are misguided. Friends of Hydrogen Hydroxide is supported by the Scorched Earth Party, a radical and loosely-organized California-based group. For the most part, the press has not reported on the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide as much as some would like. Although many private individuals have put up web sites in a major grassroots effort to spread the word, major publications have not. Recently, attention has been paid to the subject thanks to an incident in Aliso Viejo, California.
