National and international fire safety regulations -- pt. VI. Numerical simulation of fires and their hazards.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 fireFire testingToxicity testingFire testing.Toxicity testing.628.9222Stec Anna1824716Hull Richard243686MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911004801003321Fire toxicity4391993UNINA
