Deionised Water

Just a short talk about this one, before we start our labs, we have to fill in a form given by the lecturer, just to let us know and remind ourselves what the chemical hazards are, considered as one of the assignments during Christmas break. One of the chemical is "Deionised Water", I am able to fill up all other dangerous chemicals, including some very cool long names such as nickel chloride hexahydrate which will be Irritant if you came into contact with it without gloves on, or oxalic acid dihydrate will be Harmful and Corrosive. But after scratching my head for quite some time, I still don't know what kind of hazards Deionised Water has, just for the joke, maybe in a very large amount of Deionised Water, we may be drown by it, or choke on it when we talk while drinking it, but we are not suppose to consume anything in the lab.

Here is the Material Safety Data Sheet from Fisher Scientific about Deionised Water.
