This contribution aims to elucidate the chemical aspects of the autoxidation of linseed oil that may lead to self-heating and fires, especially for linseed oil doped with salts of transition metals, in the presence of an additional fuel, such as cotton. We examine the formation of peroxides, which function as important intermediates in the autoxidation reaction. In particular, we describe the relationship...
An experimental methodology developed by coupling a sampling line based on USEPA method 23 to a standard cone calorimeter is described for the study of uncontrolled emission of pollutants from fires of uncontaminated and contaminated wood. Four different kinds of timber-based materials were studied for target emissions which included PAHs, PCBs and dioxins. The results from the GC/MS analysis have...
