Inhaling Hydrogen Peroxide Danger
On the harm of inhaling hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing. In daily life, it is mostly used as a disinfectant. However, if inhaled, it is very harmful.
Its gas enters the body, and it is the first to offend the respiratory tract. The respiratory mucosa is delicate, and when exposed to hydrogen peroxide gas, it is stimulated by strong oxidation, causing mucosal congestion and edema. The first feeling of tingling and itching in the throat, followed by frequent coughing, and even shortness of breath. If the amount of inhalation is large, the airway swelling will intensify, which can cause airway obstruction and endanger life.
And the lungs are the place for gas exchange. Inhalation of hydrogen peroxide gas damages the alveoli. The cells of the alveolar wall are oxidized and damaged, affecting the gas exchange function. In light cases, blood oxygen is insufficient, fatigue, dizziness; in severe cases, respiratory
Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide enters the blood and travels throughout the body, which can cause oxidative stress imbalance in the body. Damage vascular endothelial cells, increase the risk of thrombosis; damage blood cell structure and function, and affect immunity and many other physiological functions.
Therefore, it can be seen that inhalation of hydrogen peroxide poses serious hazards to the human respiratory tract, lungs and body. Daily exposure to hydrogen peroxide should be guarded against inhalation of its gas to ensure health and safety.
