Hydrogen-Oxygen Balloon Hazards

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, ...

Hyperbaric Oxygen in Cardiovascular Disease. Potential Usages and Hazards.

CLINICAL interest in hyperbaric oxygenation is recent, buit scientific curiosity abouit high-pressuire environment dates back to ancient times. Alexander the Great of Macedoinia was the earliest hyperbaric investigator of whom we have recorded evidence.' 2 He suirveyed the ocean depths in a glass and animal skin diving-bell (fig. 1). Among his most remarkable observations was a fish of such ext...

Control of Hazards and Risks in Oxygen Enriched Systems

1.1 This guide covers an overview of the work of ASTM Committee G-4 on Compatibility and Sensitivity of Materials in Oxygen-Enriched Atmospheres. It is a starting point for those asking the question: “Are there any problems associated with my use of oxygen?” An introduction to the unique concerns that must be addressed in the handling of oxygen. The principal hazard is the prospect of ignition ...
