ABSTRACT
Approximately 18 test methods have been developed to examine the acute toxicity of thermal decomposition products produced in fires. However, the information obtained from these tests has not be integrated into a fire risk assessment. This paper presents a fire risk assessment methodology with the goal of enhancing risk management. A concentration-time product for estimating exposure was found most appropriate for comparing the toxicity of decomposition products with each other and to pure gases.(AU)
