TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - Emission of polyaromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans from fires of wood chips JO - Fire safety journal A1 - Bhargava, A.

SP - 659 EP - 672 VL - 37 IS - 7 N2 - An experimental methodology developed by coupling a sampling line based on USEPA method 23 to a standard cone calorimeter is described for the study of uncontrolled emission of pollutants from fires of uncontaminated and contaminated wood. Four different kinds of timber-based materials were studied for target emissions which included PAHs, PCBs and dioxins. The results from the GC/MS analysis have been reported to show the presence of pollutants in emissions from all timber materials studied.
