Abstract
The most common cause of death in fires is the inhalation of noxious gases rather than thermal injury. Carbon monoxide is well-known toxic component in fire atmospheres. However, the importance of hydrogen cyanide(HCN) as a toxic agent in the fire related fatalities(FRF) is under discussion. HCN is known to be produced in fires involving by the pyrolysis of polyacrylonitril (PAN) and other nitrogen-containing polymer. (omitted)
