Hydrogen Peroxide and Vinegar Mixing Safety

On the safety of mixing hydrogen peroxide with vinegar
The mixing of hydrogen peroxide and vinegar has been discussed in the world, which is related to safety and cannot be ignored.

Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties and is widely used for cleaning and disinfection. For vinegar, acetic acid is the most important, and daily seasoning and cleaning also often depend on it. However, if the two are mixed, the change of its transformation should not be taken lightly.

When hydrogen peroxide meets vinegar, acetic acid or promotes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Although hydrogen peroxide decomposes to produce oxygen and water, this is common, but under certain circumstances, it may cause oxygen to rise suddenly. If it is in a confined space, gas accumulation and pressure rise, there may be danger, such as the risk of container bursting.

And the two are mixed, or peracetic acid is produced. Peracetic acid is also highly oxidizing, and its corrosion is especially severe than hydrogen peroxide and vinegar. If you accidentally touch it, your skin and eyes will suffer from it, and if it is light, it will burn, redness and swelling, and if it is severe, it will fester and injure your eyes. If you inhale its breath, it will also damage your breathing system, cause cough, asthma, and even endanger your life.

Don't use it because of curiosity or speculation, which will cause danger and leave you with disaster. Everything is set in advance, and you should be cautious.
