Re: Hydrogen peroxide

["Steven E. Newman" <newman@lamar.colostate.edu>]

I have received a copy of some of the research work and can send it to you next
week when I return from the ASHS meetings. This stuff appears to work according
to the literature, but I have not tried it. Hydrogen dioxide and hydrogen
peroxide according to my Merk Index are one in the same. Use care when
dilluting, it is a strong oxidizer and could be dangerous to handle in
concentrated form.
