Which mechanism limits polymerization when monomer purity decreases?

💡 Explanation

Decreased monomer purity introduces radical scavengers; because these molecules react with propagating polymer chains, further monomer addition ceases, therefore terminating chain growth; rather than accelerating polymerization which would be caused by increased catalyst concentration.
