Excerpt from The Many Benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide

If any substance is interesting, it's hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide should really be called hydrogen dioxide. Its chemical formula is H2O2. It contains one more atom of oxygen that does water (H20).
By now everyone's aware of the ozone layer that surrounds the earth. Ozone consists of three atoms of oxygen (03). This protective layer of ozone is created when ultraviolet light from the sun splits an atmospheric oxygen molecule (02) into two single, unstable oxygen atoms. These single molecules combine with others to form ozone (03). Ozone isn't very stable. In fact, it will quickly give up that extra atom of oxygen to falling rainwater to form hydrogen peroxide (H202). Bear with me, all this chemistry mumbo jumbo I'm going through actually will help you understand the importance of hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide is odorless and colorless, but not tasteless. When stored under the proper conditions, it is a very stable compound. When kept in the absence of light and contaminants, it dismutates (breaks down) very slowly at the rate of about 10% a year. This can be slowed even further by storing the liquid in the freezer. It boils at 152 degrees C and freezes at minus 2 degrees C.
CAUTION: This preparation MUST be diluted.
