Methodology for Obtaining and Using Toxic Potency Data for Fire Hazard Analysis

January 1, 1998
Author(s)
Vyto Babrauskas, Richard Gann, Barbara C. Levin, M Paabo, Richard H. Harris Jr., Richard Peacock, S Yusa
A comprehensive methodology has been developed for obtaining and using smoke toxicity data for fire hazard analysis. This description of the methodology comprises (1) determination that the post-flashover fire is the proper focus of smoke inhalation deaths

Measurement of Toxic Potency for Fire Hazard Analysis

May 18, 1992
Author(s)
Vyto Babrauskas, Barbara C. Levin, Richard Gann, M Paabo, Richard H. Harris Jr., Richard Peacock, S Yusa
This study is the principle product of a research program to provide a technically sound methodology for obtaining and using smoke toxicity data for hazard analysis. It establishes: (a) an improved bench-scale toxic potency measurement, one which

Role of Bench-Scale Test Data in Assessing Real-Scale Fire Toxicity (NIST TN 1284)

January 1, 1991
Author(s)
Vyto Babrauskas, Richard H. Harris Jr., E Braun, Barbara C. Levin, M Paabo, Richard Gann
The need was seen for establishing a methodology by which bench-scale fire toxicity methods could be validated against real-scale room fires. The present study is the result of a pilot project in this area. Appropriate validation hypotheses have been put

Fire Hazard Comparison of Fire-Retarded and Non-Fire-Retarded Products (NBS SP 749)

July 1, 1988
Author(s)
Vyto Babrauskas, Richard H. Harris Jr., Richard Gann, Barbara C. Levin, B T. Lee, Richard Peacock, M Paabo, W H. Twilley, M F. Yoklavich, H M. Clark
A test program was conducted for the Fire Retardant Chemicals Association to quantify the effects of fire retardant chemicals on total fire hazard. Five different types of products, each made from a different type of plastic were used. The products were
