Lemon Juice and Hydrogen Peroxide Mixing Safety
On the Safety of Mixing Lemon Juice with Hydrogen Peroxide
Lemon juice contains various substances such as fruit acid, which is slightly acidic in nature. Hydrogen peroxide, with strong oxidizing properties, is often used for disinfection and bleaching. If the two are mixed, everyone doubts its safety.
Looking at the principle of its transformation, the fruit acid in lemon juice encounters hydrogen peroxide, or causes a chemical reaction. The structure of the fruit acid may be oxidized, causing the composition to change. And hydrogen peroxide in an acidic environment decomposes or changes speed, and the oxygen release rate is different from usual.
As for practical use, mixing the two may be unpredictable. If the mixed liquid touches the skin, it may cause skin discomfort due to the strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide and the stimulation of fruit acid, such as burning pain, redness, etc. If it enters the eyes, the damage will be even worse, the tissues of the eyes will be damaged, and the vision will be endangered. And if you take it by mistake, it will react in the body, hurt the viscera, cause vomiting, pain and other diseases.
Therefore, if you want to use lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide, you should be cautious. Do not mix it at will unless you understand its nature and reason. Using various things, with safety as the key, following scientific methods, and avoiding accidental harm is the right way.
