Establishment of a new dynamic RRC model in smoke toxicity evaluation and engineering application

Abstract

It is by now a well established fact that the overwhelming hazard from fire is smoke as far as the death of people in the fire is concerned.There are many methodologies for addressing the smoke toxicity component of fire hazard such as CO stochastic model,FED(fractional effective dose)model,FEC(fractional effective concentration)model,N-gas model and so on.None of these models can reflect spatio-temporal variation of the smoke concentration.A new dynamic smoke toxicity evaluation model,RRC(respiration,route and concentration)model,is proposed in this paper concerning the three decisive factors in real fire such as the respiration,movement route of people and the distribution of smoke concentration in the building.Furthermore,an example of the model is presented.
