At least one person has been killed by carbon dioxide gas subliming off dry ice in coolers placed in a car. [54] In 2020, three people were killed at a party in Moscow after 25 kg of dry ice was dumped in a pool; carbon dioxide is heavier than air, and so can linger near the ground, just above water level.

Comparison of phase diagrams of carbon dioxide (red) and water (blue) showing the carbon dioxide sublimation point (middle-left) at 1 atmosphere. As dry ice is heated, it crosses this point along the bold horizontal line from the solid phase directly into the gaseous phase. Water, on the other hand, passes through a liquid phase at 1 atmosphere.
[2] [4] Dry ice will naturally sublimate away in ambient air, but should always be kept in a well-ventilated area to prevent hazardous buildup of carbon dioxide gas or displacement of oxygen. Symptoms of carbon dioxide overexposure include dizziness, headache, shortness of breath, hyperventilation, anxiety, and in certain individuals, panic ...
Liquid carbon dioxide is the liquid state of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), which cannot occur under atmospheric pressure. It can only exist at a pressure above 5.1 atm (5.2 bar; 75 psi), under 31.1 °C (88.0 °F) (temperature of critical point ) and above −56.6 °C (−69.9 °F) (temperature of triple point ). [ 1 ]
Supercritical carbon dioxide (s CO 2) is a fluid state of carbon dioxide where it is held at or above its critical temperature and critical pressure. Carbon dioxide usually behaves as a gas in air at standard temperature and pressure (STP), or as a solid called dry ice when cooled and/or pressurised sufficiently.
"Plants may not show a positive response to supplemental CO2 because of other limiting factors such as nutrients, water and light," Oklahoma State University reports. "All factors need to be at ...
Carbon dioxide is a food additive used as a propellant and acidity regulator in the food industry. It is approved for usage in the EU [121] (listed as E number E290), US, [122] Australia and New Zealand [123] (listed by its INS number 290). A candy called Pop Rocks is pressurized with carbon dioxide gas [124] at about 4,000 kPa (40 bar; 580 psi ...
In 2022, Cold Jet acquired Triventek, a Danish company pioneering Carbon Dioxide Reclaimer technology. Cold Jet's engineers improved on this technology, incorporating innovative features for: Boosted Efficiency: The RE-CO2 320 V2 gets more dry ice volume out of every ounce of CO2, potentially cutting your liquid CO2 costs in half.
