A comprehensive study of the importance of carbon monoxide (CO2) in fire atmospheres. It involves: a review of CO toxicity to humans, in fires and non fire CO2 atmospheres; and a review of the toxicity to humans of low CO levels.

This book summarizes a comprehensive study of the importance of carbon monoxide [CO] in fire atmospheres. It will be relevant to institutions involved in fire research, to industries producing combustible materials and to those concerned with fire from safety and medical standpoints.
