Intensity of fire

Increases the intensity of fires. Containers may burst or explode Ignition Temperature-. Not pertinent Electrical Hazard Not pertinent Burning Rate Not pertinent. [Pg.36]

Fire Hazards - Flash Point Not flammable but may cause fires upon contact with combustible materials Flammable Limits in Air (%) Not pertinent Fire Extinguishing Agents Flood with water, dry powder (e.g., graphite or powdered limestone) Fire Extinguishing Agents Not To Be Used Not pertinent Special Hazards of Combustion Products Not pertinent Behavior in Fire Can increase the intensity of fires Ignition Temperature Not pertinent Electrical Hazard Not pertinent Burning Rate Not pertinent. [Pg.37]

Typically, the LRT smoke episodes are first detected by the increase in the PM concentration at the measurement site. If adequate real-time instruments are available, also the changes in the physical properties (e.g., particle size) and chemical composition of particles can be observed. Every PM pollution episode observed in Northern Europe is not associated with LRT smokes. Therefore, the origin of the polluted air masses must be identified, e.g., by using the backward air mass trajectory models (e.g., HYSPLIT provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or FLEXTRA [34]), that shows the path of air masses before arriving the measurement site. Additionally, Web Fire Mapper (http //maps. geog.umd.edu) shows the location and intensity of fires areas obtained from MODerate-resolution Imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS [10]) onboard the satellites. [Pg.104]

Fire, the main instrument of chemical analysis, reduced natural objects into various matters and principles. The domain of accomplished analysis (A) will thus comprise those substances that were actually separated out by chemical analysis and constituted chemists laboratory reality. Fernery s and Homberg s chemical principles as the last point of analysis existed within this domain. A skilled chemist who knew how to regulate the intensity of fire for a desired outcome usually extracted some spirits, oils, aqueous liquors (phlegms and water), earths, and salts from a variety of natural bodies (mostly plants). All these distillation products could be dubbed chemical principles if they could not be decomposed further into simpler ones. They constituted, then, the domain of reality crafted in chemical practice. [Pg.82]
