We have a team preparing for fieldwork in a very remote region of Russia. Hydrogen peroxide is going to be extremely difficult to obtain.

Can we use carbamide peroxide for disinfection? It's hydrogen peroxide + urea peroxide (stabilizer) that comes in a dry pill form to be dissolved in water.

And would the ideal concentration be 3% or 5%?

Thanks,
