Abstract:

In an effort to further the cause of increased safety for those who ride in commercial aircraft, this paper presents a detailed description of the genesis of a small-scale, laboratory test system that utilizes small animals to evaluate the relative toxic hazard of combustion products generated by the thermal decomposition of nonmetallic materials. It includes: ; 1. a discussion of the concepts that led to the design; ; 2. detailed instructions for fabricating the system; ; 3. operating parameters and instructions for conducting a test; ; 4. an evaluation of the system's performance as determined by the testing of 75 aircraft cabin materials; ; 5. the utilization of animal response time as a basis for expressing relative toxicity; ; 6. and a discussion of the derivation of an inhalation dose concept that promises to be more useful than lethal concentrations.
