“…Piranha presents risks for both, through several pathways. - First, deflagration may result from the rapid release of oxygen, from the breakdown of either Caro’s acid or hydrogen peroxide, ,, in response to the presence of organic material, as will occur during use . Metal ions will also drive the release of gas, from both hydrogen peroxide and Caro’s acid, , and can trigger thermal runaway in hydrogen peroxide, a chain reaction leading to explosion . Released gas can overpressurize containers, leading to explosion, as occurred in the recent case involving Piranha catalyzed synthesis and the explosion of a Piranha waste bottle at the University of Kentucky .
