Lessons Learned: Asphyxiation Hazard Associated with Dry Ice

Dry ice is widely used in the chemistry research settings as an excellent coolant. Herein, we report a case study of a graduate student researcher who lost consciousness while retrieving 180 lbs of dry ice from a deep dry ice container. We share the details of the incident and the lessons learned fr...

description Dry ice is widely used in the chemistry research settings as an excellent coolant. Herein, we report a case study of a graduate student researcher who lost consciousness while retrieving 180 lbs of dry ice from a deep dry ice container. We share the details of the incident and the lessons learned from it to promote safer handling of dry ice in these situations.
