abstract="Assumptions are identified and made in an attempt to model the acute human health risk associated with a hypothetical fire in an insecticide storage facility. The insecticides used in the model are endrin and dimethoate. The model indicates that persons residing a few hundred meters from the facility could suffer a variety of adverse effects, including possible death from contact with smoke from a prolonged, low-temperature fire. Knowledge of the special hazards of cool toxic smoke as well as current atmospheric conditions could be of use to fire fighters. That is, fire fighters might wisely choose to promote a fast, hot fire which would propel toxicants high into the atmosphere rather than risk local fumigation.",
