Can't H2O2 be stored for long periods?

The typical 3% solution that you use for wound disinfection can be stored for about a year. If it is stored much longer, it will have lost its potency because it will have decomposed to water and oxygen. It can be stored longer if kept in cool and dark storage conditions. If the solution is allowed to become contaminated it may decompose much quicker. Take a small amount (tablespoon or so) of the questionable material and drop a crumb of baking yeast into it. No fizz, no good.
