Toxic chemicals can cause health problems, ranging from skin irritations and allergies to life threatening acute reactions such as organ failure.  Depending on the toxicity level, chemicals can do serious damage to living tissue and organ systems. Some accumulate over a long period (months or years) and may trigger serious illnesses such as lung cancer. That means handling toxic chemicals requires great care.  Continue reading to understand how to handle toxic chemicals, including taking the following precautions: Never inhale the dust, fumes or vapours given off by toxic chemicals ..read more

The short answer to this question is that while hydrogen peroxide is a type of bleach, not all bleach products have hydrogen peroxide as the active ingredient.  For example, the bleach you use for laundry can be classified into two categories: a chlorine-based bleach and an oxygen-based (peroxide-based) bleach. Both remove stains and kill microorganisms through oxidation-reduction reactions.  However, oxygen-based bleach products such as hydrogen peroxide are not as strong as the chlorine-based bleach products, making them gentler to fabrics. Cottons and wool fabrics can weaken and e ..read more

Many chemicals found in chemistry laboratories or the workplace can be dangerous. These include poisonous, flammable, explosive, and corrosive chemicals, as we’ll explain in this article. Acids and bases are particularly corrosive. They can cause skin burns and damage to the mucous membrane. Continue reading to understand how to safely handle corrosive chemicals, such as by wearing appropriate PPE and being trained in spill processes. But first… What are corrosive chemicals? Corrosive chemicals can degrade other substances through different types of chemical reactions.  These mainly invol ..read more

Many chemicals in laboratories, workplaces, factories, and even your home are flammable. That means they can easily be ignited because of their volatility and composition, and they require careful handling.  Some common flammable chemicals include alcohols, acetone, turpentine, kerosene, LPG, butane, propane, sulphur, and phosphorus. These are dangerous chemicals that can cause fires, damaging properties and causing injuries.  Flammable chemicals must be properly stored, handled, and disposed of. Continue reading to find out more about how to handle flammable chemicals. Understanding ..read more

As the name implies, medical grade water is purified water used in the medical field.

Acetone is both a household and industrial chemical with a wide range of applications that make it indispensable in many settings. For example, a beauty salon couldn’t effectively provide services to their customers without it, as acetone is used as nail polish remover. Similarly, acetone is essential in the electronics industry. Computer chips, circuit boards, and other electronic components require acetone as a cleaning agent. It is used in cleaning circuit boards and other components because it can effectively remove residues from components without causing damage to other materials.  ..read more

Many over-the-counter ear drops contain hydrogen peroxide because it effectively dissolves ear wax. Why does this happen? Put simply, when the oxygen in the hydrogen peroxide makes contact with the ear wax, it creates bubbles that cause the wax to soften and break down.  Continue reading to learn more about this common chemical and its role in ear wax removal. You’ll also find step-by-step instructions on how to safely use hydrogen peroxide to treat ear wax build-up. What is hydrogen peroxide? Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a chemical compound available in various grades or concentrations, d ..read more
