What is Dry Ice?
Dry ice is opaque, solidified carbon dioxide that forms at temperatures of around -78.5 degrees Celsius or -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit. Carbon dioxide is compressed and cooled from its gaseous to the solid state. Dry ice is typically used to preserve frozen foods during transit. When dry ice comes in contact with warmer temperatures, it sublimes to a gaseous state directly. If mishandled, dry ice can pose serious health hazards to living beings.
Dry ice is extremely cold and can cause frostbite to skin and soft tissues. Therefore, the room where dry ice is stored or handled should be adequately ventilated.
