Dry Ice Safety Guidelines

It is important to read information about dry ice safety and recommended safety guidelines.

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide - (CO2) it is very cold: -78ºC. It sublimes (turns from a solid) to a gas that is heavier than air. It is important to note that a little bit of dry ice will sublime to a large volume of gas.
