- Abstract
- The Center for Fire Research is developing a computer model to predict the toxic hazard that people will experience under various fire scenarios. Toward this end, the toxicity of single and multiple fire gases is being studied to determine whether the toxic effects of a material's combustion products can be explained by the biological interactions of the primary fire gases or if minor, more the primary toxic fire gases.
