Abstract
Recently chemical intoxication related with the use of chemical extinguishing agents occurs frequently. With the industrialization, high-rising of building and increase of fire risk, we use the various extinguishing agents and the safe use become important. In this study I carried out the risk assessment of representative chemical extinguishing agents (HCFC-123, HFC-125) using the CHARM and got the meaningful qualitative outcome. This study is significant in that the risk assessment of chemicals was conducted using CHARM, chemical risk assessment tool. It is expected that the results will be utilized as the basic data for the national chemical safety management.
