TCA peels are a common chemical peel for skin, shouldn't this be somewhere? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.115.115 (talk) 19:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think trichloroacetic acid is unstable in the presence of a base, quickly forming chloroform (+H2O+CO2) Sodium salts are possible, but the addition of NaOH to the acid will cause decomposition.

What about for skin peels??? 69.174.171.59 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:15, 3 December 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Orphaned references in Trichloroacetic acid

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Trichloroacetic acid's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "PGCH":

From Chloroform: NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards. "#0127". National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
From Acetic acid: NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards. "#0002". National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
From Tetrachloroethylene: NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards. "#0599". National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 08:31, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@AluminiumIodide: Some of these seem to work for me. If you're editing in Iran, can you maybe try using a proxy server? The websites may be blocked.

The Wiley et al paper has a functioning DOI link.
The PPDB entry appears for me.
The Rai & Hamner link connects to JSTOR properly.

That leaves the WebMD page, which had a lot of information stripped in a 2015 revision; and the OECD SIDS and the EPA regulation, which are genuinely broken. I've added an archive link to each.

Also: {{missing references}} was inappropriate here; that template should only be applied to pages that have no citations at all. You probably wanted {{citations broken}}. Thanks, Bernanke's Crossbow (talk) 17:38, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! I am really sorry for the delay. Nope I am not using a proxy server and I found it some unfamiliar websites are still struggling with some countries and it fixed using a VPN. Regards :)) AluminiumIodide (talk) 17:09, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
