Isotolinium is a liquid material used by the Cardassians as a power source in a variety of technologies, including consoles and weapons. One possible danger of using isotolinium as a power source is that if the charged liquid was released in a single burst, the energy released could vaporize an unshielded mass equivalent to four cubic meters of tritanium. No isotolinium-based explosives were ever introduced into the Bajor theater of operations by the Cardassians. (DS9 reference: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual)
