Identification |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear, colorless. Danger! Strong oxidizer.
Contact with other material may cause a fire. Corrosive. Material is light
sensitive. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause central nervous system
effects. Eye contact may result in permanent eye damage. May cause blood
abnormalities. May cause severe respiratory tract irritation with possible
burns. Causes eye and skin irritation and possible burns. May cause severe
digestive tract irritation with possible burns.
Target Organs:
Blood, central nervous system.
Potential Health
Effects
Eye: Contact with liquid is corrosive
to the eyes and causes severe burns. Contact with the eyes may cause corneal
damage.
Skin: Causes severe skin irritation and possible
burns. May cause discoloration, erythema, swelling, and the formation of papules
and vesicles.
Ingestion: Causes gastrointestinal irritation
with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May
cause vascular collapse and damage. May cause damage to the red blood cells. May
cause difficulty in swallowing, stomach distension, possible cerebral swelling
and death. Ingestion may result in irritation of the esophagus, bleeding of the
stomach and ulcer formation.
Inhalation: Causes chemical
burns to the respiratory tract. May cause ulceration of nasal tissue, insomnia,
nervous tremors with numb extremities, chemical pneumonia, unconsciousness, and
death. At high concentrations, respiratory effects may include acute lung damage
and delayed pulmonary edema.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated
skin contact may cause dermatitis. Laboratory experiments have resulted in
mutagenic effects. Repeated contact may cause corneal damage.
|
Section 4 - First Aid
Measures |
Eyes: Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow
victim to rub or keep eyes closed. Extensive irrigation is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin: Get medical aid immediately. Immediately
flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy
contaminated shoes.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. If
victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. Wash
mouth out with water. Vomiting may occur spontaneously. If vomiting occurs and
the victim is conscious, give water to further dilute the chemical.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from
exposure to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. DO
NOT use mouth-to-mouth respiration. If breathing has ceased apply artificial
respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a
mask.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and
supportively. Attempts at evacuating the stomach via emesis induction or gastric
lavage should be avoided. In the event of severe distension of the stomach or
esophagus due to gas formation, insertion of a gastric tube may be required. To
treat corneal damage, careful ophthalmologic evaluation is recommended and the
possibility of local corticosteroid therapy should be considered.

Section 5 -
Firefighting Measures |
General
Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus
in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective
gear. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike and collect water used
to fight fire. Strong oxidizer. Contact with combustible materials may cause a
fire. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by
thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Substance is noncombustible. Use water with caution and in
flooding amounts. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the
ground and collect in low or confined areas. Some oxidizers may react
explosively with hydrocarbons(fuel). May decompose explosively when heated or
involved in a fire. May accelerate burning if involved in a fire.
Extinguishing Media: Use water only! Do NOT use carbon
dioxide. Do NOT use dry chemical. Do NOT get water inside containers. Contact
professional fire-fighters immediately. Cool containers with flooding quantities
of water until well after fire is out. For large fires, flood fire area with
large quantities of water, while knocking down vapors with water fog.
|
Section 6 -
Accidental Release Measures |
General
Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in
Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing
precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Use water spray to disperse the
gas/vapor. Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an absorbent,
non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Flush spill area
with water. Provide ventilation. Do not get water inside containers. Keep
combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.,) away from spilled material.
|
Section 7 - Handling
and Storage |
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Contents may develop pressure upon prolonged storage. Do not get in eyes, on
skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with clothing
and other combustible materials. Do not ingest or inhale. Store protected from
light. Discard contaminated shoes. Unused chemicals should not be returned to
the container. Rinse empty drums and containers thoroughly with water before
discarding.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and
flame. Do not store near combustible materials. Keep container closed when not
in use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Store protected from light. Keep away form alkalies, oxidizable
materials, finely divided metals, alcohols, and permanganates. Store below 35°C.
Store only in light-resistent containers fitted with a safety vent.
|
Section 8 - Exposure
Controls, Personal Protection |
Engineering
Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities storing
or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a
safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep
airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.

Ecological Information |
Ecotoxicity: Not
available.
Environmental Fate: Rain washout is expected due to
condensation of hydrogen peroxide on contact with water droplets. In the
atmosphere, indirect photooxidation is perdicted with a half-life of 10 to 20
hours. Non-significant evaporation and adsorption from water surfaces and
soil/sediments is expected. Rapid and cosiderable aerobic biodegradation was
determined with a half-life < 1 minute (biological treatment sludge) and 0.3
to 2 days (fresh water). Hydrogen peroxide is non-bioaccumulable.
