VIII. FIRST AID
EYES:
Immediately flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting
the upper and lower eyelids. Call a physician at once.
SKIN:
Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician. If clothing comes in
contact with the product, the clothing should be removed immediately and should be
laundered before re-use.
INGESTION:
Immediately drink large quantities of water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Call a
physician at once. DO NOT give anything by mouth if the person is unconscious
or if having convulsions.
INHALATION:
If a person experiences nausea, headache or dizziness, person should stop work
immediately and move to fresh air until these symptoms disappear. If breathing is difficult,
administer oxygen, keep the person warm and at rest. Call a physician. In the event that an
individual inhales enough product to lose consciousness, person should be moved to fresh air at
once and a physician should be called immediately. If breathing has stopped, artificial respiration
should be given immediately. In all cases, ensure adequate ventilation and provide respiratory
protection before the person returns to work.

IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE OR HEALTH: 75 ppm ?for hydrogen peroxide
SIGNS, SYMPTOMS, AND EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE:
INHALATION
ACUTE:
Vapors and mist may cause irritation and inflammation of eyes, skin, nose, mouth, throat
and respiratory tract. Pulmonary edema may develop and can result in shortness of
breath, wheezing, choking, chest pain and impairment of lung function. Effects may be
delayed for several hours.
CHRONIC:
Chronic inhalation may cause bleaching of the hair and impairment of lung function.
SKIN
ACUTE:
Dermal exposure can cause severe irritation and/or burns characterized by a tingling
sensation, redness, swelling, and whitening of the skin. Prolonged skin exposure may
cause destruction of the dermis with ulceration.
CHRONIC:
Effects from chronic shin exposure would be similar to those from single exposure except
for effects secondary to tissue destruction.
EYE
Severe irritation and/or burns can occur following exposure. Direct contact may cause
impairment of vision and corneal damage.
INGESTION
ACUTE:
Irritation and/or burns can occur to the entire gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach
and intestines, characterized by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bleeding,
and/or tissue ulceration. Ingestion causes severe damage to the gastrointestinal tract with
the potential to cause perforation.
CHRONIC:
The corrosive nature of this product would make chronic ingestion unlikely. Effects would
be similar to those from a single exposure.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Asthma and other respiratory diseases, skin or eye disorders.
INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER CHEMICALS WHICH ENHANCE TOXICITY
None known or reported
Page 5 of 8 File Number HP012000
ANIMAL TOXICOLOGY
ACUTE TOXICOLOGY: 90% solution of hydrogen peroxide
Inhalation LC 50: >2000 ppm/8 hour (rat)
Dermal LD 50: 4060 mg/kg (rat)
Oral LD 50: 2 gm/kg (mouse)
Irritation: Causes burns to eyes and skin
ACUTE TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY:
This product may cause irritation and/or burns to all tissues contacted and upon
inhalation, may cause irritation to eye, mucous membranes and respiratory tract.
CHRONIC TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY:
Chronic exposure may cause impairment of lung function and effects secondary to burns.
REPRODUCTIVE AND DEVELOPMENT TOXICITY:
There are no known or reported effects on reproductive function or fetal development.
CARCINOGENICITY:
This product is not know or reported to be carcinogenic by any reference source including
IARC, OSHA, NTP or EPA.
IARC has listed hydrogen peroxide as a material that is not classifiable as to its
carcinogenicity to humans. There is limited evidence of the carcinogenicity to
experimental animals.
MUTAGENICITY:
Hydrogen peroxide induced DNA damage in bacteria and was mutagenic to bacteria and
fungi. DNA damage, sister chromatid exchanges and chromosomal aberrations were
induced in mammalian cells in vitro; however, no mutagenic activity was seen in insects
or mammalian cells in vitro.
AQUATIC TOXICITY:
TLM 96 1-10 ppm
Coho Salmon 10 ppm
