Thermal Hazards. These hazards include liot surfaces, fire produced by reacting substances, and flame contacts from heat-producing equipment, welding operations, and so on. [Pg.184]

Carbon monoxide emissions from the terrestrial biosphere are small, but forest fires produce 0.02 Pg C/yr. Degradation of chlorophyll is dying plant material seems to be the largest CO-producing mechanism at 0.04-0.2 Pg C/yr (Freyer, 1979). [Pg.299]

As noted nearly five centuries ago, fires produce smoke and as learned this century, most of the fire deaths in this country result from people breathing that smoke (1). Over the years, the United States and Canada have had the worst fire loss records among the industrialized countries which keep such records (2). At present, the United States suffers 6,000 deaths and 30,000 reported injuries per year (3). The annual property damage exceeds 7 billion, and the total cost of fire is over 50 billion (4). [Pg.3]

The ultimate objective of the study of toxicity of fire-produced toxic agents is the design and construction of a fire-safe environment. There are many ways to accomplish this aim. We might develop materials which, when heated, produce no toxic gases. We might use materials which do not bum. [Pg.67]

This group is difficult to preserve for smoke and fire in scaling, and can be troublesome. An alternate empirical radiation loss to the ambient used for unconfined fires produces... [Pg.384]

Once the fire characteristics are calculated, an assessment of the impact of the fire needs to be completed. Fires produce four major outputs gases, flame, heat, and smoke. The materials involved in the fire will determine the combination of these four outputs. For example, crude oil will produce a very dark thick smoke cloud, and ethylene does not produce much smoke, but does have a very large flame. [Pg.80]

II, 3272 CA 38, 1880 (1944). Various types of incendiary bombs as well as means of combating the fires produced by them are described... [Pg.343]

Refs Same as under Elektron and several Refs on p B237 of Vol 2, which include description of methods of extinguishing fire-produced by Elektron bom be... [Pg.727]

Now I have told without any error, how the body shall get a soul, and how you must separate them, and divide them from one another but the division without doubt, is the key of all our work. It is performed by the fire without it art would be imperfect. Some say that Fire produces nothing of or by its nature, except ashes. But saving their respect Nature s engrafted in the Fire, for if Nature were not there, the fire neer have any heat. And I will prove it thus. I will take Salt (alias Sol or the Sun) to bear me witness. But now we will leave this discourse and we will speak of other noble subjects. And when I heard this conference, I writ the word down in my heart and said thou Lady in a bright array, will you hearken to me a while, and let us return to ye (alias the seven) metals, of which Mercury is the principal, and let you and reason make me some interpretation, or I am mistaken in your work, because of what you have said above. For you would have me to destroy that which I made at first and that you do expressly say. I know not whether these are repetitions, or whether you speak by Parables, for I understand not your schools. [Pg.24]

One report stated the heavy crude oil processing unit was in normal operation and had not been undergoing repairs. A spokesman indicated the fire produced a visible plume of black smoke and a bucketful of debris was blown into the community. The company offered to wash cars to remove any airborne soot from the fire. [22]... [Pg.117]

VIRTUE OF HEAVEN — Fire implanted in, and inseparable from, the Matter of the Work, which, put into activity by another fire, produces the Sulphur of the Philosophers, called the Minera of the Heavenly Fire. [Pg.381]
