Abstract

The char yields of various synthetic polymers associated with lethal doses of their pyrolysis gases to laboratory animals were investigated. The results appear compatible with the hypothesis that hydrogen cyanide and carbonyl sulfide are evolved in the pyrolysis gases from the high-char-yield polymers and are an order of magnitude more toxic than carbon monoxide.
