Bibliography

Provides a brief summary of the test methods that are in common use in the assessment of lethal and sub lethal acute toxic potency, and other toxicity tests. It includes special observations on their relevance to real fire scenarios and gives recommendations on their use. It advises which tests provide toxic potency data, which is relevant to real fire scenarios, and which are suitable for use in fire hazard assessment and fire safety engineering.
