title: Cocarcinogenic activity of peroxy compounds.
abstract: Peracetic acid was a potent tumor promoter and a weak complete carcinogen on the skin of female ICR Swiss mice. "Decomposed peracetic acid" was inactive as a tumor promoter, as were 3% [hydrogen peroxide and 5%] urea peroxide; 1% perbenzoic acid and m-chloroperbenzoic acid were active tumor prototers.
