Thanks - here's a serious offset. :-)
The Dihydrous monoxide killer
I've been prompted by Cycles2k to report on a deadly killer chemical which is all too common within Canada. The killer is the chemical Dihydrous monoxide. My position as Green Party of Canada (GPC) candidate for Calgary East makes me the ideal person to sound the warning knell for beginning the war in banning this dangerous substance. Please, lobby your electoral candidate to express the dangers of Dihydrous monoxide and and encourage the candidate to make it an election issue!
Dihydrous monoxide (DHMO), otherwise known as hydroxl acid or dihydrous oxide, kills by infiltrating the lungs and interferring with proper air exchange. Death can occur in minutes. Dihydrous monoxide is an odorless, colorless poison which in low levels can cause coughing, choking, and laboured breathing. Temporary exposure may cause permanent neurological dysfunction. Even low dose exposure may provoke aspirated pneumonia and dyspnoeia.
Although everyone needs to be aware of the dangers of Dihydrous monoxide, some people are more susceptible than others. The following are more susceptible to potential DHMO poisoning.
Infants
Elderly People
Those who suffer from anaemia, respiratory or heart disease
It has been noted that many governments refuse to restrict dumping of toxic Dihydrous monoxide for fear of reducing the effectiveness of certain secret naval technologies [thanks to GPC military critic for this tip].
Here is a partial list of places DHMO can be found:
* nuclear power plants
* processed foods
* automobile exhaust emissions
* most household chemicals, including floor cleaners, pesticides, and other poisons
* excised tumors from terminal cancer patients
* many types of industrial chemicals
* several types of chemical weapons
* fire retardants
* baby foods and baby formulas
Virtually all of Canada's rivers and lakes contain DHMO, and DHMO is by far more commonly found in the Canadian arctic than all other polutants combined! It is unlikely that any single individual in Canada will test negative for this toxic compound.
In the year 2000 there were 472 Canadian DHMO-direct deaths. In Canada in 1997, 29 toddlers were directly killed by overt Dihydrous monoxide! In 1998, there were 26 DHMO-direct contact fatalities in Manitoba alone. In the United States 82,579 people died of DHMO-related pneumonia during 1996. In the same year 733,834 from DHMO-related heart disease, 544,278 from DMHO-related cancer, 160,431 from DHMO-related stroke, and 32,655 from DHMO-related AIDS/HIV. The time for action is now! |
