Fire toxicity is the largest cause of death and injury from unwanted fires, yet it is the least well studied area of fire science and engineering. Fire toxicity increases by factors up to 50, as the fire becomes under-ventilated. This has proved difficult, but not impossible, to replicate in a controlled way on a bench-scale. Clear correlations have been observed between the stoichiometric equivalence...
Polymer pellets have been burned in 12 large scale tests in under-ventilated conditions in a 2.5m3 fire enclosure with attached corridor. The polymers investigated were low density polyethylene (LDPE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), and polyamide 6.6 (PA6.6). The enclosure, based on a scaled-down ISO 9705 room attached to a horizontally divided corridor, has been designed to replicate...
