Chemical plant explosions

Arkema Texas Plant Explodes, "Black Smoke Fills The Air" | Zero Hedge

Look at the list of toxic chemicals stored in the plant at the bottom. Even has such dangerous things as Epson salts, Hydrogen Peroxide, Mineral Oil and some actual nasty stuff.

Hydrogen peroxide in high molarity is actually fantastically dangerous and very difficult to handle. It makes a great rocket fuel in high enough concentrations. The same uff you buy at the grocery store is heavily diluted with hydrogen dioxide at 95% or more.

Remember though the most deadly chemical released in the Houston disaster is hydrogen dioxide. It's killed 39 people so far and counting! Hydrogen dioxide poisoning is a common killer and the stuff is in almost everything!

Just say no to H2O!

It does say 70% Hydrogen Peroxide. That's pretty safe stuff, in most situations. Dihydrogen Oxide, on the other hand, is very deadly. You got it wrong. Lol.

Water (H2O) is dihydrogen oxide, not hydrogen dioxide.

It didn't flow well though

*Hydric acid. Everyone knows it's not a proper "oxide" compound.

Sigh. Seems we're both all wet.

Hydric Acid... Gotta laugh. Is that similar to the HHO engine boosters to get better mileage?

Yes. It has many industrial uses. Even without such boosters it is still a major part of modern tail pipe emissions! What those catalytic converters do to us!

And to imagine, Hydric acid is the largest greenhouse gas on our planet. I'd drink to that! Water anyone?

and lets not forget the earth is covered in that stuff along with 2 other deadly elements... chlorine and sodium...

 

[Bunnykiller]

they listed sodium bicarbonate too... the fire should have put itself out...

You are the salt of the earth.

Moved to The Lounge as it's not vape related. Also changed the title. Let's be careful what we feed to Google please.

 

[90VG]

It was vape related, they listed PG as a toxic chemical, as in, could explode.

 

[retired1]

Please. Read the Safety Sheet for Propylene Glycol. In the quantities listed and in a flammable state, yes, it's toxic. Still has absolutely nothing to do with vaping and starting a thread with a title you started it with does nothing more than provide click bait on Google.

Keep in mind that while we vapers heat PG we don't burn it. Burning PG has been shown to produce very small amounts of unpleasant stuff. Now if you upsize from drops to tankers full that small percentage becomes a not so small amount.
