The Dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide

The Invisible Killer

Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is colourless, odorless, tasteless, and sickens over 4 billion and kills over 2 million people every year (United Nations World Health Organization, 2008: www.WHO.Int).
Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. 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.
Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of pounds in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

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 tumours and lesions.
Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere.
Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.

What are some uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide?

Despite the known dangers of DHMO, it continues to be used daily by industry, government, and even in private homes worldwide. Some of the well-known uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

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,
As a spray-on fire suppressant and retardant,
As a major ingredient in many home-made bombs,
As a by-product of hydrocarbon combustion in furnaces and air conditioning compressor operation,
In cult rituals,
By both the KKK and the NAACP during rallies and marches,
In animal research laboratories, and
In the distribution and production of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
As an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.
To dissolve medicines before giving them to children and older adults.

Dihydrogen monoxide:

Is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
Contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
May cause severe burns.
Contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
Accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
May cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
Has been found in excised tumours of terminal cancer patients.
Contamination has been found in all floodwaters where death has occurred and violent thunderstorm rains containing destructive lightning.
Changing from crystalline to liquid is a leading cause of the destruction of arctic ice and glaciers.

Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions!

Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in Britain today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the Midwest, and recently California. DHMO contamination is even found in most cells in the human body!

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

dhmo must be stopped

The Horror Must Be Stopped!

The British and American governments have refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the Navy and other military organisations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion pound devices to control and utilise it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive millions of tons of pure DHMO through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network daily. Many facilities store large quantities for later use. Many municipalities also have DHMO storage facilities.

Act NOW to prevent further contamination. Find out more about this dangerous chemical. What you don't know can hurt you and others throughout the world.
Write to your Member of Parliament. Urge them to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide NOW!
