- Abstract
- The effects of physical and chemical factors on the smoke and carbon monoxide generated by burning polymers and red oak in the NBS Smoke Density Chamber are reported. Smoke and carbon monoxide formation was found to depend on irradiance level and oxygen concentration in the chamber. Smoke optical density correlations with particulate mass density showed that the ratio of these two varied with material composition and burning conditions.
