Chemical Compound of the Day: Ethylene Glycol

Do not ever think about making someone ingest this! Don't you ever drink it either! I don't know how this was found out, but someone has definitely ingested this before because I read somewhere that this compound is a clear, SWEET, SYRUPY, liquid. Anyway, 9 billion lbs. of this compound has been produced in the United States every year. Now, what will happen to you if you ingest it? You basically will DIE! It has a sweet taste so if anyone gets their hands on it, they will want more and simply will die of kidney damage. Antifreeze contains this compound so don't drink antifreeze either! Ok, bye!
