- Abstract
- The toxicities of combustion products of typical materlals are evaluted by animal tests using mice, and the relative degrees of toxicity hazards are quantitatively clarified. The weights of the materials when generating combustion products sufficient to cause collapse of mice under given exposure conditions are obtained according to conditions of combustion. It is shown that the relative degrees of danger from toxicities of combustion products of materials may be expressed by the ratios of their weights.
