Water listed as "Toxic Substance" under US Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976!
I was looking up the rules for listing "trade secret" ingredients in products on their MSDS or SDS and came across some ingredients listed as being on
the inventory of the TSCA - which lists just under 68,000 different compounds, chemicals, elements, etc and one of them being water, yes plain H2O!
I'm not sure what to say about that, but it seems that someone may have gone a little overboard in listing these things, possibly as a means of
control through bureaucracy - meaning they can prosecute people for violating the TSCA by discharging water from their property. I can't really think
of a reason why this would be listed, sure you can get "water poisoning" but that is different. If water can be included, what can't be?

Just wait until nitrogen becomes regulated. No one is safe and exposure cannot be prevented.

A substance being on the TSCA inventory doesn't mean that the TSCA considers that substance toxic:

So, I'm presuming the fact that human bodies are 70-80% water doesn't bother you?
If being immortal and healthy means becoming a shriveled, dehydrated husk... I think I'll just stick with mortality, thanks.
