Here is all you should know about the Dry Ice.
- Dry Ice is prepared by cooling and then condensing the CO2 gas, invented in the 1900s and commercialized in the 1920s.
- It is used across various industries, including food and beverage, medical, and research. The entertainment industry also uses this ice to create special effects.
- Dry ice is also used in shipments of products in the food and pharmaceutical industries, as it has a surface temperature of -78 degrees Celsius and can be used for frozen products. Because it does not melt, it is kept during transportation to keep the goods free from moisture.
- As we have seen in the Gurugram’s incident, it can be harmful if misused. Because of the high temperature, if misused, it can lead to cold burns and frostbite. Also, don’t forget to use appropriate gloves while handling dry ice.
- Suppose you keep much of this ice in a small or poorly ventilated room. In that case, it can lead to the generation of CO2 gas, which can cause asphyxiation and headaches, disorientation, confusion, and difficulty breathing as symptoms of oxygen deprivation.
- Improperly having dry ice can also lead to eye irritation.
