This is because peracetic acid can be used for disinfection and bleaching, but it is also highly toxic and flammable. If not treated, peracetic acid may cause serious harm to human body and environment. Therefore, in order to protect human safety and environmental health, many countries strictly control the production, sale and use of peracetic acid.
In China, 20% peracetic acid is also regulated. According to the Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals and the Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals, 20% peracetic acid belongs to hazardous chemicals and needs to be managed, stored, transported and used according to regulations. Specifically, it is necessary to carry out relevant qualification examination and approval, safety evaluation and implementation of safety measures.
In order to use 20% peracetic acid safely and stably, we must strictly abide by relevant regulations and take necessary protective measures during storage, transportation and use. For example, keep the storage environment dry, moisture-proof and well ventilated to avoid mixing with other chemicals; In the process of transportation, it is necessary to select the transportation tools and containers that meet the requirements, and carry out appropriate packaging and identification; Wear protective equipment, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and avoid mixing with other substances during use.
It should be noted that the control of 20% peracetic acid is not limited to China, and the management of dangerous chemicals is very strict in all countries. Therefore, whether producing, selling or using dangerous chemicals, we must strictly abide by the relevant laws and standards of various countries to ensure human safety and environmental health.
