How Poisonous Is Hydrogen Peroxide
On the toxicity of hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is famous in the world, but its toxicity may not be well known.
Watching hydrogen peroxide is also a chemical agent. It is active and has the ability to oxidize. Ordinary people regard it, or think it is nothing more than an ordinary chemical, but in fact its toxicity should not be ignored.
A small amount of hydrogen peroxide, if it touches the skin, may feel a little tingling at first, like a mosquito bite. If it encounters mucous membranes, such as eyes, mouth, etc., it is even more harmful. If it enters the eyes, it will sting and difficult to open, tears and snot will mix, and in severe cases, it will damage the visual function of the eyes; if it enters the mouth and throat, it will burn, even cause gastrointestinal discomfort, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
If you take more hydrogen peroxide by mistake, it will be a disaster. In the stomach, it decomposes quickly, producing gas and generating heat. If the stomach is attacked internally, it will be swollen like a drum, and the pain will be unbearable. Heat also burns the inner wall of the stomach, causing ulcers and bleeding. And the oxygen produced by its decomposition will enter the blood circulation, or cause air clots, endangering life.
Also in industrial and medical environments, long-term exposure to low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, although not acute poisoning, is also harmful to health over time. The skin is often touched, gradually dry and chapped; the respiratory tract is contaminated by it, which is easy to cause cough, asthma, and even damage the function of the lungs.
Therefore, it can be seen that the toxicity of hydrogen peroxide, whether it is urgent or slow, must not be prevented. When using, be sure to follow the procedures and prepare protective equipment to prevent poisoning. Make everyone aware of its nature and avoid its risks, so as to obtain a safe environment.
