- Abstract
- A framework for addressing hazards associated with the spread of smoke and hot gases from fires in buildings is proposed, and the current predictive capabilities for each component of that framework are described. A Method for assessing the significance of the toxicity of the combustion products of a material in relation to its other fire properties is proposed.
