Toxic fire effluents are responsible for the majority of fire
deaths, and an increasing large majority of fire injuries, driven
by the widespread and increasing use of synthetic polymers. Fire
safety has focused on preventing ignition and reducing flame spread
through reducing the rate of heat release, while neglecting the
important issue of fire toxicity. This is the first reference work
on fire toxicity and the only scientific publication on the subject
in the last 15 years.
Assessment of toxic effects of fires is increasingly being
recognised as a key factor in the assessment of fire hazards. This
book raises important issues including the types of toxic effluents
that different fires produce, their physiological effects, methods
for generation and assessment of fire toxicity, current and
proposed regulations and approaches to modelling the toxic impact
of fires.
The contributors to Fire toxicity represent an international team
of the leading experts in each aspect of this challenging and
important field. This book provides an important reference work for
professionals in the fire community, including fire fighters, fire
investigators, regulators, fire safety engineers, and formulators
of fire-safe materials. It will also prove invaluable to
researchers in academia and industry.
Investigates the controversial subject of toxic effluents as the
cause of the majority of fire deaths and injuriesDescribes the
different types of toxic effluents and the specific fires that they
produce, their physiological effects and methods for
generationProvides an overview of national and international fire
safety regulations including current and proposed regulations such
as a standardized framework for prediction of fire gas toxicity
