- Abstract
- This paper presents preliminary results of simultaneous smoke and carbon monoxide measurements from burning selected plastics and rad oak in the smoke density chamber. An attempt was made to correlate smoke optical density with mass concentration of smoke. Particulate shape and approximate size range of the smokes were obtained using a scanning electron microscope.
