Clinicians see hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) sterilization as a safer alternative to ethylene oxide (EtO) mainly because:

• Non-toxic and non-carcinogenic:

** H₂O₂ breaks down into water and oxygen, leaving no harmful residues, making it safe for staff, patients, and the environment. By contrast, EtO is a toxic, carcinogenic gas with acute and chronic health risks for workers and patients alike.

• No hazardous residues requiring aeration:

** EtO sterilization leaves toxic residues that require lengthy aeration times to remove, posing exposure risks if incomplete. H₂O₂ does not produce such residues, enabling faster turnaround and safer device handling[2].

• Environmental safety:

** EtO emits carcinogenic, flammable, and explosive gas requiring strict regulatory control and specialized safety infrastructure, while H₂O₂ is considered environmentally friendly with minimal regulatory constraints.

• Safer use conditions:

** EtO requires use in classified areas due to flammability and explosive risk and demands strict occupational safety measures. H₂O₂ sterilization is simpler to manage and safer for healthcare workers.

• Regulatory support:

** The FDA has recognized vaporized hydrogen peroxide as an established sterilization category for medical devices, promoting its use as a safer, effective alternative to EtO. Thus, from a clinical and occupational health perspective, H₂O₂ offers significant safety advantages over EtO regarding toxicity, residue, environmental impact, and ease of facility management, which underlies its growing adoption in healthcare sterilization.
