Experimental observation on the stability and a stabilizer for peracetic acid

Experimental observation on the stability and a stabilizer for peracetic acid. Zhou, Dahong (No. 224 Hosp., Peop. Rep. China). Yaoxue Tongbao, 19(10), 609-10 (Chinese) 1984. CODEN: YHTPAD. ISSN: 0512-7343. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 63 (Pharmaceuticals) The degrdn. rate of peracetic acid [79-21-0] was 13.52% when kept at 42° for 9 days, 17.4% when kept at room temp. in the dark for 35 days and 11.4% when kept in the refrigerator for 35 days. Oxalic acid [144-62-7] was the best stabilizer for peracetic acid among 5 compds. tested.

Peracetic acid aerosol effect in long-term use of low germicidal concentrations on experimental animals

Peracetic acid aerosol effect in long-term use of low germicidal concentrations on experimental animals. Heinze, Wolfgang; Nattermann, Herbert (Sekt. TPV, Humboldt-Univ. Berlin, Berlin 1040, Ger. Dem. Rep.). Wiss. Z. Humboldt-Univ. Berlin, Math.-Naturwiss. Reihe, 33(5), 513-17 (German) 1984. CODEN: WZHMAE. ISSN: 0522-9863. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 4 (Toxicology) Mice and guinea pigs were exposed to peracetic acid [79-21-0] aerosol (186 or 280 mg/m3) 30 min twice daily for 90 days. Bronchopneumonia and liver granuloma was obsd. in most of the animals. Increased incidence of lung tumors and decreased leukocyte counts were obsd. in mice. The concns. of g-globulins and alanine aminotransferase [9000-86-6] of blood serum were above normal in guinea pigs. Thus, veterinary use of the aerosol is recommended only for healthy animals for periods ￡1 mo.
