Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

RS-Freetext:
Gulf of Mexico surface maxima 1-2 x 10E-7 M (3.4-6.8 µg/l).
Samples: May and August 1982 in a variety of locations
ranging from oligotrophic oceanic stations to highly
productive coastal sites. Depth profiles of hydrogen
peroxide exhibit surface maxima of 1-2 x 10E-7 mol/L and
decreasing conc. with depth. Hydrogen peroxide
concentrations decreased only slightly or were invariant
with depth in the mixed layer but decreased sharply to below
the limit of detection (5 x 10E-9 mol/L) at the base of
mixed
layer. Diel variations were more pronounced in coastal
surface waters than in oligotrophic waters.
