Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour in the Proximity of Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilisers

Efficacy, efficiency and safety aspects of hydrogen peroxide vapour and aerosolized hydrogen peroxide room disinfection systems.

BACKGROUND This was a head-to-head comparison of two hydrogen-peroxide-based room decontamination systems. AIM To compare the efficacy, efficiency and safety of hydrogen peroxide vapour (HPV; Clarus R, Bioquell, Andover, U.K.) and aerosolized hydrogen peroxide (aHP; SR2, Sterinis, now supplied as Glosair, Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP), Johnson & Johnson Medical Ltd, Wokingham, U.K.) r...

Hydrogen Peroxide in Adaptation

The perception of the roles of H 2 O 2 in living systems has come a long way, transcending from H 2 O 2 being considered as (i) exclusively damaging; (ii) a necessary evil " unwanted but an inevitable product of aerobic metabolism " ; (iii) important for specific biological processes that involve ROS aggressiveness, such as the battle of the innate immune system with pathogens; and (iv) signall...

Hydrogen Peroxide in Cholera

Sir,?I read a note from the pen of Dr. N. C. Moitra, m.b., in the Indian Medical Gazettte, October number, on the use of hydrogen peroxide in cholera, in which he says that he wrote a short note in the Therapeutic Notes published by Parke, Davis and Co., but he gives no date as to when he had written this short note. Also he does not say as to whether he uses liqr. hydrogen peroxide B. P. (10 p...

Hazards of hydrogen peroxide.

Hydrogen peroxide solution is commonly used for irrigating and cleaning wounds. It has some germicidal properties and may remove contaminants mechanically. When it is applied to tissues catalase causes its rapid molecular decomposition with the release of oxygen bubbles (1 ml of hydrogen peroxide 3% (10 vol) will release 10 ml oxygen).' Irrigation under pressure or into enclosed body cavities, ...
