Measurements and Observations of the Toxicological Hazard of Fire in a Metrorail Interior Mock-Up.

摘要

Oxygen depletion,carbon monoxide,carbon dioxide,hydrogen chloride and hydrogen cyanide were selected for measurement and identification in Metrorail fire tests. Male rats exposed to the combustion products were examined for changes in blood chemistry,gross pathology and loss of function. Hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide levels in blood were elevated and functional changes were noted.
