Peracetic acid is actually more environmentally friendly compared to older sanitizers, especially those containing chlorine. PAA breaks down into acetic acid (vinegar), water, and oxygen, posing minimal risk to aquatic life and the environment. It’s an excellent choice for wastewater treatment in food processing plants, helping prevent harmful substances from entering natural ecosystems. Additionally, its effectiveness in small amounts further reduces environmental impact.
PAA’s ability to break down into harmless byproducts and its effectiveness even in small quantities make it a safer choice for the environment. It helps prevent pollution and protects ecosystems, particularly when used in applications like wastewater disinfection and managing sewer overflows.
