Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
Vapors are corrosive and irritating to the respiratory tract. Inhalation of
mist may burn the mucous membrane of the nose and throat. In severe cases,
exposures may result in pulmonary edema and death.
Ingestion:
Corrosive and irritating to the mouth, throat, and abdomen. Large doses may
cause symptoms of abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea as well as
blistering or tissue destruction. Stomach distention (due to rapid
liberation of oxygen), and risk of stomach perforation, convulsions,
pulmonary edema, coma, possible cerebral edema (fluid on the brain), and
death are possible.
Skin Contact:
Corrosive. Symptoms of redness, pain, and severe burn can occur.
Eye Contact:
Vapors are very corrosive and irritating to the eyes. Symptoms include
pain, redness and blurred vision. Splashes can cause permanent tissue
destruction.
Chronic Exposure:
No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems or impaired
respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the
substance.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention
immediately.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention
immediately. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before
reuse. If allowed to dry on clothing, evaporation leads to concentration
and increased possibility of ignition.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
Note to Physician:
Pulmonary edema may be delayed for 24 to 72 hours;keep under observation.
Gastric lavage may be necessary if swallowed. Analysis of body fluids
(particularly gastric aspirates) using the titanium chloride reaction, if
done immediately, will reveal peroxides.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
Not combustible, but substance is a strong oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause ignition. Increases the flammability of combustible, organic and readily oxidizable materials.
Explosion:
Contact with oxidizable substances may cause extremely violent combustion.
Drying of concentrated hydrogen peroxide on clothing or other combustible
materials may cause fire or explosion. Sealed containers may rupture when
heated.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water spray may be used to extinguish surrounding fire and cool exposed
containers. Water spray will also reduce fume and irritant gases.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the
pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
CAUTION! Caustic material. Causes fires with organic material. Ventilate
area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as
specified in Section 8. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Do not
return spilled material to original container.
Larger Spills: Dilute
with a large amount of water and hold in a pond or dyked area until the
peroxide decomposes followed by discharge into a suitable treatment system.
May be neutralized with sodium metabisulfite or sodium sulfite after
diluting to 5-10% peroxide.
Do not flush undiluted material to sewer.
This oxidizing material can increase the flammability of adjacent
combustible materials. Empty containers should be rinsed with water before
discarding.
7. Handling and Storage
Store in a cool(< 35C), well-ventilated dark area separated from
combustible substances, reducing agents, strong bases, organics.Do not
store on wooden shelves or floors. Suggest rotation of stock. Containers
must be vented, but check periodically for bulging containers which can
burst from pressure. Protect containers from physical damage,
contamination, heat and incompatibles.. Contamination from any source
(dust, metals) may cause rapid decomposition with generation of large
quantities of oxygen gas and high pressures. Rinse empty containers
thoroughly with clean water. Glass, polyethylene, stainless steel and
aluminum are recommended materials for storage containers. Containers of
this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product
residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for
the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
1 ppm (TWA).
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
1 ppm (TWA), A3: Animal carcinogen.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is
generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant
at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area.
Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded, wear a supplied air, full-facepiece
respirator, airlined hood, or full-facepiece self-contained breathing
apparatus. This substance has unknown warning properties.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat,
apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is
possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work
area.

10. Stability and Reactivity
Stability:
Normally stable if uncontaminated, but slowly decomposes to release oxygen.
Unstable with heat, may result in dangerous pressures. A strong oxidizer,
reacts violently upon contact with many organic substances, particularly
textile and paper. Avoid light and keep in a closed but vented container to
prevent evaporation (concentration) and contamination.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Decomposes to water and oxygen with rapid heat release. Use vented
containers. The solution can decompose violently upon heating.
Hazardous Polymerization:
Will not occur.
Incompatibilities:
Heat, reducing agents, organic materials, dirt, alkalis, rust, and many
metals. Spontaneous combustion may occur on standing in contact with
readily flammable materials.
Conditions to Avoid:
Avoid excess heat and contact with combustible or organic materials. Light
and incompatibles.
