- Abstract
- In the last few years, smoke toxicity has progressed from being only a suggested factor in fire hazard to a measurable parameter of considerable dispute. Much of this has been realized since the Sixth UJNR Panel Meeting. At present, despite the controversial status of the field, many manufacturers of both materials and finished products are considering or performing (confidential) toxicity testing, and consideration of several methods for standard testing or regulatory use is underway.
