International Study of the Sublethal Effects of Fire Smoke on Survivability and Health Sefs Phase I Final Report

Fire smoke toxicity has been a recurring theme for fire safety professionals for over 4 decades. There continues to be difficulty & controversy in assessing & addressing the contribution of the sublethal effects of smoke in hazard & risk analyses. This report estimates the magnitude & impact of sublethal exposures to fire smoke on the U.S. population, provides the best available lethal & incapacitating toxic potency values for the smoke from commercial products, determines the potential for various sizes of fires to produce smoke yields that could result in sublethal health effects, & provides state-of-the-art information on the production of the condensed components of smoke from fires & their evolutionary changes during transport from the fire.Gann, Richard G. is the author of 'International Study of the Sublethal Effects of Fire Smoke on Survivability and Health Sefs Phase I Final Report' with ISBN 9780756727215 and ISBN 0756727219.
