Carbon Dioxide Explosions

Carbon dioxide is a very dangerous gas often used in business or industrial applications. This gas is often condensed into canisters or other containers. Then, the gas is used to provide pressurized gas. However, carbon dioxide is extremely dangerous when it is heated excessively. Additionally, carbon dioxide packed tightly into a space can cause serious damage and injuries in a major explosion if the gas is able to rupture its container.

Injuries from Carbon Dioxide Explosions

Carbon dioxide explosions do not necessarily occur in conjunction with a major fire or other catastrophic damages. However, the force of a carbon dioxide explosion can rip apart material easily. This means that a person may be seriously injured in close spaces such as cars and trucks if a carbon dioxide canister erupts in an explosion.

The following injuries may be attributed to these explosions:

• Debris injuries
• Loss of hearing
• Exposure to carbon dioxide

These explosions can also occur when a mechanical error causes carbon dioxide to build up excessively in a tight space. Eventually, this gas can create considerable pressure. When released, the gas may explode out into an open space. When concentrated enough, the gas may appear in the form of a whitish fog on the ground.
