Dry ice frozen carbon dioxide (CO2), it is created when CO2 is released in a high-pressure container that results to the cooling of liquid to freezing point. Dry ice sublimates directly from solid gas and has the very cold temperature of -109.3°F or -78.5°C.
It's very cold temperature can freeze cells when contact is prolonged and can cause burns and frostbites. It can also cause severe internal injury when ingested.
