- Abstract
- This report deals with the issue of estimating survivable exposures of humans to toxic gases frequently encountered in smoke from fires in residential and other occupied structures. A rational basis for estimating these tenability limits has been formulated from a review of laboratory animal data and available inforamtion from human exposures both controlled and accidental.
