Toxicity of smoke from upholstery materials in under-ventilated fires
Toxicity of smoke is an important parameter when evaluating the hazards associated with upholstery materials to be used in buildings and transportation vehicles. Fires in enclosed spaces with limited ventilation such as rooms, carriages and fuselages cause smoke accumulation and increased exposure of occupants to its toxic components. The paper focuses on experimental measurements of smoke toxicity in under-ventilated fires and presents data for various ventilation conditions. The results indicate the influence of ventilation on fire heat output, the composition and amount of produced smoke. The data can be used in fire modelling, fire investigation and evaluation of fire toxicity hazards in a particular field of application.
