Hydrogen peroxide – It’s Environmental Impact 

Electrostatic

Hydrogen peroxide is widely recognised as a more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional fumigation gases such as formaldehyde. 

Unlike many toxic fumigants, hydrogen peroxide breaks down naturally into water and oxygen, leaving no harmful residues and generating minimal waste. 

Compared with formaldehyde-based processes, hydrogen peroxide decontamination can significantly reduce toxic waste, carbon footprint, and operational downtime. It can also avoid the need for building evacuation or specialised waste disposal. 

All these make hydrogen peroxide a safer and more sustainable option for decontamination in laboratories, cleanrooms, and other controlled environments.
