From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hydric acid is a colorless, odorless chemical substance, also known as Dihydrogen Monoxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or Dihydrogen Hidroxide. 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.
The term hydric acid generally refers to its liquid form or state, but the substance also has a solid state and gaseous state. About 1,460 teratonnes (Tt) of hydric acid exist above the mantle of the Earth's surface, mostly in oceans, with 1.6% of hydric acid below ground and 0.001% in the air.[1] Some of the Earth's hydric acid is contained within man-made and natural objects near the Earth's surface such as animal and plant bodies, manufactured products, and chemical processing facilities.
