PSA, don't dump 25kilos of dry ice into an indoor pool.

This give a new meaning to putting them on ice.... Sad that they lost their lives over a stupid prank.

It wasn’t a prank it was just stupidity.

CO2 is not poisonous. Just ask any climate denier.

They should have chilled out.

this happened in mexico at a hotel pool party.

CO2 is NOT poisonous, if it were we'd all be dead, it's 0.4% of our atmosphere. The problem is when there's too much of it, it displaces O2, also know as Oxygen, which is kind of needed for survival.

No kidding.

Seems simply accidental and a dumb move. Any Darwin award candidates in the mix?

No, but a lack of oxygen, especially while swimming is.

 

[shortylickens]

I was fucking around with a CO2 can one time at work (I'm not very smart) and got a lung full.
It was not fun.

Science illiteracy for the lose.

This is wrong.

Everything isn't poisonous below a certain concentration. Above a certain concentration, everything is. Including water.

CO2 isn't poisonous at .04%. It starts becoming toxic around 1% which is 25x what is currently in our atmosphere.

 

[UberNeuman]

The FDA has cleared throwing this ice into any body of water.

 

[Vic]

25 kilos of dry ice measures about a cubic foot, has a 535:1 expansion ratio, and CO2 gas is heavier than air. Not a good time to get in the pool.

it’s just plant food!

more is better!

You’re basically wrong. CO2 acts as both an asphyxiant and a toxicant. At high enough concentrations it doesn’t matter how much O2 is in the air the CO2 will kill you.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5380556/
Carbon dioxide does not only cause asphyxiation by hypoxia but also acts as a toxicant. At high concentrations, it has been showed to cause unconsciousness almost instantaneously and respiratory arrest within 1 min [6].

Other causes of carbon dioxide intoxication have been identified as well, such as dry ice. Dry ice undergoes sublimation (direct conversion from a solid state into a gas), and if it is warmed rapidly, large amounts of CO2are generated, which is especially dangerous in closed environments [7–9]. Dry ice intoxication might be accidental [1, 7, 10, 11] or deliberately as several suicide cases have been described [8, 9]. Massive geothermal emissions have also been described as a possible cause of CO2intoxications, though in these cases, a relation with other toxic gasses inhaled might not be excluded [12, 13]. We performed this literature review to understand the contribution of CO2specifically to “confined space hypoxic syndrome,” and wanted to make physicians more aware of the condition.

Apollo 13 was an excellent example. They weren’t running out of O2, they ran out of lithium hydroxide canisters for CO2 removal.

CO2

250-400ppm	Normal background concentration in outdoor ambient air
400-1,000ppm	Concentrations typical of occupied indoor spaces with good air exchange
1,000-2,000ppm	Complaints of drowsiness and poor air.
2,000-5,000 ppm	Headaches, sleepiness and stagnant, stale, stuffy air. Poor concentration, loss of attention, increased heart rate and slight nausea may also be present.
5,000	Workplace exposure limit (as 8-hour TWA) in most jurisdictions.
>40,000 ppm	Exposure may lead to serious oxygen deprivation resulting in permanent brain damage, coma, even death.

Note that 40000PPM is 4% of the air.

aint no person want to hear nothin bout no libreal antichrist science.

I've used dry ice a few times to decommission buried fuel tanks. The vendor would slice it to 1.5" square long sticks so I could drop it into the tank before excavating and cutting the ends off with a torch. Hazardous stuff for a hazardous operation
