Radiolysis of aerated CH3OH produced no peroxide until approximates 0.5 wt % H2O was added; the G(H2O2) then jumped from practically zero to the plateau value of 2.8. Several possible explanations of this phenomenon are considered. Finally, the H2O addition did not affect the production of ethylene glycol (G =0), HCO2H (1.8 ± 0.2), and CH2O (10 ± 1).
