Sodium hydroxide, also known as "NaOH," is a vital inorganic chemical that is also known as caustic soda or lye. It causes severe burns to the skin because of its caustic impact. If the eye is impacted, it may result in blindness. Some criminals utilize it to get rid of the bodies of their victims. It is regarded as a safe way to get rid of animal carcasses.

Body tissues are broken down with sodium hydroxide. "The bonds that keep the body intact are broken" when the body is submerged in a solution of sodium hydroxide and water, making it simple to dispose of. It has a negative impact on the environment, the living things that live there, and agricultural areas where it is hard to get rid of its hazardous residues.
