Dhmo Research Paper
According to DHMO.org Dihydrogen Monoxide FAQ page, Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound. They claim that its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. They further claim that Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many deaths and is a major contributor to millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment and despite the risks of DHMO, it is still used daily by industry, government, and private homes worldwide. DHMO also posted the side effects of DHMO overdose and how to minimize the risk of exposure. DHMO.org posted on their website that Dihydrogen

In its liquid form it is a major component of acid rain, cyclones, and hurricanes. It can corrode and oxidize metals and erode soil. DHMO.org mentions that despite the risks of DHMO, it is still used daily by industry, government, and private homes worldwide. It can be found in industrial solvents and coolants, in the production of Styrofoam, in nuclear power plants. It is a byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion in furnaces and air conditioning compressor operation. It is even used in community swimming pools to maintain chemical balance, and it is also used in day care centers for sanitary purposes. Dihydrogen Monoxide is used as an additive to food products, including jarred baby food and baby formula, in cough medicines, in shampoos and many other products. DHMO.org also warns of DHMO overdose and mentioned that these are some of the possible symptoms, excessive sweating, urination, nausea, bloating, vomiting and degeneration of sodium homeostasis to name a few. All of this can be remedied by simply using common sense. If you are using a product that may be contaminated with DHMO, determine the danger to you and your family, and then act as you deem appropriate. Exercise caution if there is a potential for inhalation or
