Cursed DHMO! has been known to cause severe burns and is a pollutant so ubiquitous as to have been found in glacial ice!

Holy shit, people, We have an emergency on our hands!

Thanks Franklyn, I needed a laugh today:D.

You would figure that in Ca, its degreasing capability would be integrated into some sort of thigh cream as a substitute for liposuction (the burning let's you know its working); "after the skin grafts my thighs bore no resemblence to those seen before my second child--now only $19.95, etc.".

Cheers,

chlorinated ozonide should be less touchy than hydrogenated variants.
Question is would the explosive decomposition yield phosgene.

What happens with the ethylene ozonide? Does it yield formaldehyde? Because that would be the equivalent scission to what you are proposing (or speculating about.)

sym-tetrachloroethylene could give 2 equivalents of phosgene, but I envision the production of OCl2, etc. beforehand (and quite likely, explosion). So on one hand, phosgene (and maybe explosion) on the other, just some formaldehyde and very likely, a comcomitant explosion. Hmm.


Well apparently it does according to this _
