Abstract
Two papers in the Proceedings of the Second Meeting of this Panel, held in Tokyo in 1976, deal extensively with the toxicology of fire (1,2), and we shall atttempt to avoid a third presentation of the same type of material. However, the authors have been engaged in inhalation toxicology research for the past 7 years, and we thought this Panel might be interested in some of our experiences, a few of our findings, and in particular, our impressions of the current state-of-the-art and future directions for research in this area.
