Safety Tips: Peroxides Can Be Treacherous.
Nagel, Miriam C.
Journal of Chemical Education, v61 n3 p250-51 Mar 1984
Peroxides are unstable, shock-, thermal-, and friction-sensitive compounds whose sensitivity increases with concentration. In addition, peroxides can form in aging organic solvents and stored alkali metals. Cautions related to storage, use, and disposal of peroxides in the secondary school chemistry laboratory are discussed. (JN)
