The Global Equivalence Ratio Concept and the Prediction of Carbon Monoxide Formation in Enclosure Fires (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781499160642)

Roughly two thirds of all deaths resulting from enclosure fires can be attributed to the presence of carbon monoxide which is known to be the dominate toxicant in fire deaths. The mechanisms responsible for the generation of high concentrations of CO in fires are poorly understood. This work summarizes the result thus far of a long-term program which is seeking to develop an understanding of and predictive capability for the generation of CO in fires.
