Can anyone suggest a more current information with regard to the question below? There have been no updates in JCHAS since the 1996 article.

Thanks for any help with this.

We reference your ‰??Classes of Peroxide-forming chemicals" (Source: Kelly, Richard J., Chemical Health & Safety, American Chemical Society, 1996, Sept, 28-36) in our SOP. Do you have an updated version of this or similar document?

I need to find more information about gases that may autopolymerize (quote from document is below) or otherwise become hazardous. When stored as a gas, these may autopolymerize as a result of peroxide accumulation:
- Butadiene
- Chloroprene
- Tetrafluoroethylene

I am writing an SOP about this.
