Magnesium peroxide and magnesium hydroxide are also safe to ingest as they are both used as anti-acids. ORC is used in retail horticultural products, such as Oxygen Pius fertilizer, which is now produced by Ringer Corporation. These products are sold in all fifty states, where they have met Department of Agriculture fertilizer registration requirements and saftey criteria for entering the environment and the food chain. Magnesium peroxide has been used in dentifrices and other dental products. As with all chemicals safe handling practices should be used to avoid any excess exposure to skin and eyes. A full MSDS is provided with the product. The following statement is useful as a convenient summary of the key issues covered in the MSDS. ORC is the trade name for a form of magnesium peroxide. It is important to avoid contact with skin and eyes and to avoid breathing the dust. The material is not toxic, in fact, it is listed in certain handbooks as an anti-acid for the stomach. It is however, an irritant. Contact with skin should be avoided, but is of less concern - it may cause some dryness and mild irritation. The fine nature of the dust, independent of its chemical makeup, is enough to warrant respiratory protection. Full face protection is recommended to avoid both Breathing the material and contacting it with the eyes. Separate goggles and mask are an alternative. Gloves should be worn. These precautions are more important with regard to the use of pure ORC in soil applications than with the ORC filter socks that are almost dust free. Wetting the filter - socks down while in the bucket and before removal and insertion into the wells or trenches is a good precaution to take.
