Peroxide Formers
Some peroxides can form dangerous explosives upon extended storage. Common examples are diethyl ether, methyl methacrylate, tetrahydrofuran (THF), and secondary alcohols. EH&S has implemented a program for tracking and evaluating all peroxide-forming chemicals in the Hall of Science. If you have any of these chemicals in your laboratory and haven't been contacted by EH&S about tracking and evaluation, please reach out to us!
