Routes of entry
:
Inhalation, Ingestion, Skin & Eyes
Effects of Exposure/Symptoms
:
Although solutions and vapours are nontoxic, they are irritating. Vapours cause, discomfort of eyes and nose. Moderately
concentrated liquid causes whitening of the skin and severe stinging sensation, In most
cases the stinging subsides quickly and the skin gradually returns to normal without any
damage. Highly concentrated liquid can cause blistering of skin, if left on for any length
of time. Can also cause eye damage.

8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION /REFERENCES
A powerful Oxidizing and corrosive material. Although many mixtures of H2O2
and organic Materials do not explode upon contact, the resultant combination is
detonable either upon catching fire or by impact. The detonation velocity of
aqueous solution of H2O2 have been found to be about 6500m/second for solution
between 96 wt% and 100 wt%H2O2. Another source of H2O2 explosion is from
sealing the material in strong containers. Under such condition, even gradual
decomposition of H2O2 to H2O + O2 can cause large pressures to build up in the
containers which may then burst explosively. A solution of H2O2 of 35 wt% and
over can cause blistering of the skin. The eyes are particularly sensitive to this
material. It is used as a general purpose food additive. It migrates to food from
packaging materials.

the primary route of chronic Benzene poisoning.
Elimination chiefly through
lungs. There is a great individual variation in the
