  Should dihydrogen monoxide be banned?

In March 2004, the town of Aliso Viejo considered imposing a ban on dihydrogen monoxide. Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also known as  hydrogen hydroxide.  Dangers of dihydrogen monoxide include:

  • Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
  • Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
  • DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
