Carbon dioxide is used in many consumer products that require pressurized gas because it is inexpensive an nonflammable.
Liquid and solid carbon dioxide are important refrigerants, especially in the food industry, where they are employed during the transportation and storage of ice cream and other frozen foods.
Solid carbon dioxide is called "dry ice" and is used for small shipments where refrigeration equipment is not practical.
Carbon dioxide is also used in the drinks and food that we consume everyday.
