Current World Environment

If any substance is interesting, it’s hydrogen peroxide. By now everyone’s aware of the ozone layer that surrounds the earth. Ozone consists of three atoms of oxygen (03). This protective layer of ozone is created when ultraviolet light from the sun splits an atmospheric oxygen molecule (02) into two single, unstable oxygen atoms. These single molecules combine with others to form ozone (03). Ozone isn’t very stable. In fact, it will quickly give up that extra atom of oxygen to falling rainwater to form hydrogen peroxide (H202). It is this hydrogen peroxide in rainwater that makes it so much more effective than tap water when given to plants. With the increased levels of atmospheric pollution, however, greater amounts of H202 react with air-borne toxins and never reach the ground. To compensate for this, many farmers have been increasing crop yields by spraying them with diluted hydrogen peroxide. We can achieve the same beneficial effect with house plants. If you’ve never used Hydrogen Peroxide you are overlooking one of the most powerful healing tools ever discovered. Most of us started on hydrogen peroxide shortly after birth. Not only does mother’s milk contain high amounts of H202, the amount contained in the first milk (colostrum) is even higher. This seems only reasonable now that we know one of its main functions is to activate and stimulate the immune system. Hydrogen peroxide is safe, readily available and dirt cheap. And best of all, it works! We do know that it is loaded with oxygen. (Half a liter of the food-grade 35% solution contains the equivalent of 65 lits of oxygen under normal conditions. We also know that when H202 is taken into the body (orally or intravenously) the oxygen content of the blood and body tissues increases dramatically. Hydrogen Peroxide is most versatile chemical used in various industries as bleaching agent, reagent in chemical synthesis, environmental control / effluent treatment, sterilization etc. The important constituent being active oxygen which is obtained by the controlled decomposition of H2O2 and water as a by-product. In this paper, the usage of H2O2 to provide ‘clean’ processes, without the production of any harmful or environmentally unsafe product is presented.
