Abstract

A key requirement for the assessment of toxic hazard in fire is a knowledge of the range, nature and concentrations of toxic/irritant species and smoke particulates present in the fire effluent. Owing to the often extremely hostile conditions present in a fire, it is necessary to adopt specialised methods for sampling and analysis if the results are to be meaningful. This chapter provides both a detailed summary of methodologies which have proved to be successful over a wide range of fire research/testing regimes, and offers guidance for setting up practical sampling and analysis systems.
