Abstract:  A sensitive method has been worked up which, being based upon kinetic measurements by means of a model reaction — oxidation of benzaldehyde in an oxygen atmosphere — enables to ascertain the concentration range in which the substance under study accelerates, retards, or inhibits the reaction proceeded by a radical mechanism. This method could be used to screen potential carcinogens, estimate the effectiveness of industrial catalysts, retarders and inhibitors and also to study the effect of various substituents from the theoretical point of view.
