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.
