Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning Safety

On the Safety of Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning
Hydrogen peroxide is used for cleaning, and many people doubt its safety. Let's try it out now.

Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties. In a clean environment, it can break the structure of the substance to achieve the effect of descaling. However, its strong nature, if it is not used properly, there will be hidden dangers.

First talk about its impact on the human body. If hydrogen peroxide touches the skin, it may cause whitening and tingling in light cases, and it can burn the skin in severe cases. The cover can damage the cellular structure of the skin due to its oxidative properties. If it is not carefully entered into the eyes, it is particularly harmful, and it can hurt the tissues of the eyes and even cause damage to vision. If taken by mistake, there is a risk of erosion in the mouth, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract, causing vomiting, abdominal pain, etc., which is life-threatening.

The second time it is used in the environment. Hydrogen peroxide is easy to decompose and releases oxygen. If used in a confined space in large quantities, oxygen will accumulate, and there is a risk of explosion in case of open fire or static electricity. And although its decomposition products are mostly water and oxygen, they seem harmless. However, in some special materials of utensils, it may cause corrosion and reduce its lifespan.

To ensure the safety of hydrogen peroxide cleaning, there are also methods to follow. When using it, it must be diluted in proportion to avoid its concentration being too high. The operator should wear protective gear, such as gloves, goggles, etc., to separate it from the body. After using the device, it should be properly placed to prevent children and the weak from accidentally touching it. And the place used should be well ventilated to avoid the accumulation of oxygen.

In summary, hydrogen peroxide is used for cleaning. If it is used with caution, it can benefit from its cleaning and avoid its safety.
