hi my name is joe.
The primary components of most automotive antifreeze are ethylene glycol and water. Good brands will also have some anti-corrosion additives. Nearly all brands will also add some dye to give color to the antifreeze. Pure water and ethylene glycol are both clear and colorless in the color range visible to the human eye.
Yes, ingesting 2 cups of antifreeze, which typically contains ethylene glycol, can be lethal to a human. Ethylene glycol is highly toxic and can cause severe metabolic acidosis, kidney failure, and central nervous system damage. The severity of the outcome depends on various factors, including the individual's health and how quickly they receive medical treatment. Immediate medical attention is crucial if antifreeze ingestion is suspected.
A very small amount, such as licking your fingers after handling antifreeze, will have no noticeable effect. In fact, one popular soft drink actually contains ethylene glycol. Ingesting larger amounts can cause serious and painful illness or death from kidney failure. However, if diagnosed early, treatment has been very successful for people drinking large amounts of ethylene glycol.

Both ethylene and propylene glycol possess many characteristics that make them ideal for use in heat transfer systems where protection from freezing is required. Desirable properties include high boiling points, low freezing points, stability over a wide range of temperatures, and high specific heats and thermal conductivities. Furthermore, used with an appropriate inhibitor, glycols demonstrate a non-corrosivity that may substantially prolong system life. Ethylene glycol based solutions work well in most anti-freeze applications because of their excellent heat transfer efficiency. The low viscosity of ethylene glycol allows systems to operate at lower minimum temperatures and is more energy efficient due to its reduced pumping requirements. The primary drawback to ethylene glycol is that it is listed as a "toxic chemical" under SARA, Title III, Section 313, due to its acute oral toxicity. Inhibited propylene glycol should be used for freeze protection where direct contact with foodstuffs or incidental contact with drinking water may occur. Although propylene glycol is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA, it is not intended for human consumption. Hope this helps your question.

The antonym of "cadaver," which refers to a dead body, is "living being" or "organism." While "cadaver" implies death and the absence of life, its antonyms denote life and vitality. Other terms that could be used include "human" or "living creature."
The body is called a cadaver. This one has been embalmed but the ones used to train cadaver dogs are not.
Yes, coolant can be considered a hazardous material, particularly if it contains certain toxic substances like ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. These chemicals can pose risks to human health and the environment if not handled or disposed of properly. Spills and leaks can lead to contamination of water sources and harm to wildlife. Therefore, it's important to follow local regulations regarding the storage, use, and disposal of coolant.
The scientific name for a human skeleton is Homo sapiens skeletal system.
