Dihydrogen Monoxide Warning

Have you heard about the latest environmental threat? It's called dihydrogen monoxide and it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It comes in multiple forms and all forms can be deadly. It kills uncounted thousands of people every year. When it causes death, most deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO; prolonged exposure in its solid form causes severe tissue damage. It also
* contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
* may cause severe burns.
* contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
* accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
* has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
* as an industrial solvent and coolant.
* in nuclear power plants.
* as a fire retardant.
* as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal.

The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation."
