Geocache Description:

A cache to spread awareness of the dangerousness of DiHydrogen Monoxide and the problems it can cause.


Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.  

Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment.

 

This cache is located near a substantial amount of DHMO, and hopefully by spreading awareness we can help keep people safe.

More information can be found by contacting the cache hider, or at www.dhmo.org.  You owe it to yourself to keep yourself and your loved ones safe!
