Glossary Hydrogen Peroxide

chemical compound H2O2 used for disinfection and bleaching

Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is a chemical compound consisting of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. It is commonly used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent due to its strong oxidizing properties. In biological contexts, it is produced in small amounts by cells as a byproduct of metabolic processes and is broken down by the enzyme catalase to prevent cellular damage.
