Are glow bracelets toxic? Characteristics and composition
Is a fluorescent stick toxic?
Fluorescent sticks and sticks are non-toxic and work through a chemical reaction similar to that of fireflies. Tubular and plastic fluorescent sticks and bars contain chemicals that create bright, safe light.
Chemical reaction
The fluorescent sticks and sticks contain phenyl oxalate and a fluorescent dye that surrounds a glass ampoule filled with dilute hydrogen peroxide. When the plastic light stick or stick is bent, the vial breaks and the chemicals mix, creating the bright light.
Safety
Fluorescent sticks and sticks are non-toxic and safe. They do not produce heat, sparks or flames and are safe to use near flammable liquids and gases or around fuel leaks. In addition, they are versatile, waterproof, and work well in high or low temperatures.
