Additional information

On the one hand, calcium peroxide that is present in “reaction mass of calcium dihydroxide and calcium peroxide” will hydrolyze to calcium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide when it comes into contact with moist. On the other hand, calcium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide in the environment to form calcium carbonate, which is one of the most abundant minerals in the earth's crust. Hydrogen peroxide is a short-lived substance in soil and ground water, because a rapid degradation will occur due to high concentration of catalytic material (transition metals, enzymes, easily oxidised/reduced organic substances and microbes) available. Hydrogen peroxide is further decomposed to form water and oxygen, which are of no concern. Thus, no long-term or irreversible damage to soil organisms as a result of exposure to the reaction mass is expected.
