I've seen the MSDS on water. Among other things, it notes that it is a
solvent (as if anyone who has ever worked with a half-eaten body panel
needed OSHA to tell us this) and a corrosive/oxidizer, i.e. wii rust stuff.
Well, Duh!
As others have pointed out, the EPA _is_ watching us (here in the US):
every time a tractor-trailer wrecks on the interstate highway near my house,
they're there in force to supervise the hazardous clean-up (read: mop up
the spilled diesel fuel from the puntured fuel tank). Worse than the IRSS?
Well, "e," "p," ans "a" ARE all in "Gestapo."
