- Identifiers
- decay; toxic and physiological hazards in fires and concentration/time: dose relationships; reported effects of smoke on visibility and behavior; irritant concentrations of common fire gases; lethal exposure doses of irritants contributing to asphyxia and lung damage; Fractional Effective Dose (FED); limiting conditions for tenability caused by heat; life threat analysis for the first six minutes of a furniture fire; early/well ventilated flaming fires; non-flaming/smoldering fires; restricted ventilation (vitiated) flaming fires; ventilation controlled flaming post flashover fires; apartment and house fires: times to alarm and tenability limits; effectiveness of smoke detectors in 98 fires; aircraft cabin spray miust system fires
