Hydrogen Peroxide Poisonousness
On the toxicity of hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is well known in the world. However, the details of its toxicity are not well known.
Hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing. At low concentrations, it touches the skin, or only causes temporary discomfort, such as slight tingling or whitening. However, if the concentration is slightly higher, when exposed, it can cause burns to the skin and mucous membranes, like fire, which is a direct harm to the body surface.
When it enters the body, it is particularly harmful. If you drink a liquid containing hydrogen peroxide by mistake, it will react quickly in the stomach and release oxygen. This gas accumulates in the stomach, causing flatulence, severe pain, and even the danger of gastrointestinal perforation. And its strong oxidative properties can damage the intestinal and gastric mucosa, causing bleeding and ulcers.
As for inhaling hydrogen peroxide vapor, its harm should not be underestimated. Can stab the respiratory tract, causing cough, asthma, shortness of breath. Long-term exposure to this may damage lung function and cause chronic respiratory diseases.
From this perspective, although hydrogen peroxide has its uses in many fields, it is highly toxic. When used, be cautious and strictly follow the procedures to prevent poisoning and protect personal safety.
