Hazards of hydrogen peroxide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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, however, may have serious consequences. We present case reports illustrating two such hazards: oxygen embolus and surgical emphysema.

Degradation of Transformer Oil (PCB Compounds) by Microwave Radiation, Ethanol Solvent, Hydrogen Peroxide and Dioxide Titanium for Reducing Environmental Hazards
Background: Poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of chlorinated organic chemicals that do not easily degrade in the environment. This study was conducted to determine the effect of microwave rays, hydrogen peroxide, dioxide titanium and ethanol solvent on the degradation of PCBs. Methods: A 900w domestic MW oven with a fixed frequency of 2450 MHZ was used to provide MW irradiation. R...
متن کاملHydrogen Peroxide Adsorption on Graphene with Stone-Wales Defect
To explore the possibility of using graphene based biosensor, adsorption of hydrogen peroxide on graphene has been investigated using density functional theory. The electronic properties of defect free and defective graphene in the presence of different number of hydrogen peroxide have been studied. The graphene with the most stable configuration defect named as SW defect is considered. The hig...

In this work, we described a cost-effective and environmentally friendly technique for green synthesis of colloidal silver nanoparticles from aqueous extract of fresh leaves of Acacia melanoxylon and its application as a dopamine and hydrogen peroxide sensor. The prepared silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron mi...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Spirulina and Phycocyanin on Testicular Tissue and Sperm Parameters in Adult Rats Treated with Hydrogen Peroxide
Background and purpose: About 50% of infertility in couples is related to male factors and oxidative stress is one of the main causes of infertility in men. Hydrogen peroxide has an adverse effect on male reproductive system due to its free radicals. Spirulina and phycocyanin are known to have antioxidant properties and can modify stressors. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, ...
