Safe Use of Hydrogen Peroxide

On the safe use of hydrogen peroxide
For those who use hydrogen peroxide, the chemical agent is also active and has a wide range of uses. However, if it is used carelessly, it will cause serious problems. Therefore, the way to use it safely cannot be ignored.

Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties and can be used for disinfection, sterilization, and bleaching. For medical use, it can clean wounds, kill germs, and prevent infections. In industry, it can be used as an oxidizing agent to promote various reactions. However, its strong oxidizing properties are also the source of harm.

When used, the first thing to know is its concentration. High concentrations are highly corrosive, touch the skin, and cause burning pain. In severe cases, the skin is broken and rotten. Therefore, when operating, it is necessary to wear protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, etc., to avoid direct contact with the body and skin. If accidentally contaminated, quickly rinse with a large amount of water, and seek medical treatment in severe cases.

And it is easy to decompose when heated, producing oxygen and water. In a closed space, the decomposed oxygen accumulates and the pressure increases, which may cause the danger of explosion. Therefore, when storing, it is advisable to place it in a cool and ventilated place, protected from heat and light, and not in the same place as combustible materials. The equipment used must also be clean and free of pollution, so as to avoid impurities catalyzing its decomposition.

Furthermore, mixed use should be especially cautious. Do not co-place with reducing substances, such as certain metal ions, organic substances, etc., otherwise the reaction will be violent and the disaster will take a while.

All of these are essential for the safe use of hydrogen peroxide. Users must be well aware of its properties and strictly abide by the procedures to ensure safety, so that this agent can do its best and avoid its harm.
