- Abstract
- There is a need for screening tests to compare the relative toxicity of the products of pyrolysis and combustion from the wide variety of materials used in aircraft, buildings, consumer products and other applications. The apparatus should be low in cost and in investment; procedures for operation should be simple and understandable to the user with little specialized training and the test results should be reporducible and reliable.
