Abstract
Detailed mathematical methods have recently become available for performing a complete fire hazard analysis. Because of their complexity, they are used primarily for research purposes. For many design and evaluation uses, however, a need is seen for simpler analysis techniques. One such need is for the assessment of the toxic hazard component of fire hazard. Such a technique must be able to place in correct context at least the toxic potency and the burning rate variables. A simple method is developed for demonstrating the capability for performing toxic fire hazard analysis using available test data and not requiring the use of a computer. The method is illustrated with test data on a number of products obtained from the National Bureau of Standards Combustion Toxicity Test and from the cone calorimeter.
