Are chemical light sources safe (neon sticks)?
For a start, some chemistry and about the composition: neon wand contains two chemicals and a certain dye. Chemicals inside the plastic tube are a mixture of dye and dyphenyl osqualage (the substance obtained by the interaction of phenol with oxalic acid), and inside the plastic stick in a glass ampoule - hydrogen peroxide. When mixing the data of the composition, a chemical reaction occurs, with the excretion of energy that excites the dye, actually which is glowing. And yes, neon sticks are safe. Even if the external case of the chemical light source will be punctured or polnean - it will not cause any reaction, since the chemical composition is not toxic and does not ignite. But you should avoid entering the eyes or swallowing the fluid located inside the neon stick, as this will cause irritation. There is also the possibility of an allergic reaction. Chemical sources are also not recommended to give to children under 5 years old unattended adults. If the chemicals from the sticks fall on clothes, just rinse the area with warm water with soap. If the reagents are dried - there may remain stains.
