Inhalation
Move to fresh air. If person is not breathing, contact emergency
medical services, then give artificial respiration, preferably
mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or
doctor for further treatment advice.
Ingestion
Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, give 2 glasses
of water. Get immediate medical attention. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Hydrogen Peroxide irritates respiratory system and, if inhaled, may
cause inflammation and pulmonary edema. The effects may not be
immediate. Overexposure symptoms are coughing, giddiness and sore
throat. In case of accidental ingestion, necrosis may result from
mucous membrane burns (mouth, esophagus and stomach). Oxygen
rapid release may cause stomach swelling and hemorrhaging, which
may product major, or even fatal, injury to organs if a large amount
has been ingested. In case of skin contact, may cause burns,
erythema, blisters or even necrosis.
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Hydrogen peroxide at these concentrations is a strong oxidant. Direct
contact with the eye is likely to cause corneal damage especially if
not washed immediately. Careful opthalmologic evaluation is
recommended and the possibility of local corticosteroid therapy
should be considered. Because of the likelihood of corrosive effects
on the gastrointestinal tract after ingestion, and the unlikelihood of
systemic effects, attempts at evacuating the stomach via emesis
induction or gastric lavage should be avoided. There is a remote
possibility, however, that a nasogastric or orogastric tube may be
required for the reduction of severe distension due to gas formation.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Water. Do not use any other substance.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
