Fire smoke contains a variety of highly toxic substances and can lead to unconsciousness within a few minutes and to death for critical concentrations. Currently the engineer’s methods of fire safety include various procedures to calculate the fire propagation and smoke spread in buildings.
However, up to now the evaluation and calculation of smoke concerning its optical properties and toxic potential on the basis of a detailed combustion is still a field of research. Since smoke composition is highly variable and not fully characterised it has to be examined whether and how the Chemical composition and the optical properties of smoke are correlating. A method has been developed that establishes the relation between the smoke components and smoke toxicity.
