Dihydrogen Monoxide
Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2007 12:01 amDihydrogen monoxide has a history of causing disasters, death, explosions, etc.
some dangers from dihydrogen monoxide:
-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.
-Contributes to soil erosion.
-Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
-Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
-Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
-Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
-Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
-Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New Orleans and -other areas of the southeastern U.S.
-Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.
other uses of it:
-as an industrial solvent and coolant,
-in nuclear power plants,
-by the U.S. Navy in the propulsion systems of some older vessels,
-by elite athletes to improve performance,
-in the production of Styrofoam,
-in biological and chemical weapons manufacture,
-in the development of genetically engineering crops and animals,
-as a spray-on fire suppressant and retardant,
-in so-called "family planning" or "reproductive health" clinics,
-as a major ingredient in many home-brewed bombs,
-as a byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion in furnaces and air conditioning compressor operation,
-in cult rituals,
-by the Church of Scientology on their members and their members' families (although surprisingly, many members recently have contacted DHMO.org to vehemently deny such use),
-by both the KKK and the NAACP during rallies and marches,
-by members of Congress who are under investigation for financial -corruption and inappropriate IM behavior,
-by the clientele at a number of bath houses in New York City and San Francisco,
-historically, in Hitler's death camps in Nazi Germany, and in prisons in Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Libya, Iraq and Iran,
-in World War II prison camps in Japan, and in prisons in China, for various forms of torture,
-during many recent religious and ethnic wars in the Middle East,
-by many terrorist organizations including al Quaeda,
-in community swimming pools to maintain chemical balance,
-by software engineers, including those producing DICOM software SDKs,
-in animal research laboratories, and
-in pesticide production and distribution.
