Silver and other more active metals cause organic peroxides to decompose to form toxic and flammable ethers and alcohols, flammable hydrocarbons and O2, and inert CO2 gases, even when present only in very small amounts as impurities (Bretherick, L. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 4th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 305, pp. 868; Sanchez, J. and Myers, T. N. 2000.
