By combining the toxic product yields, most easily expressed as an LC50, with the mass loss range, a methodology is proposed for quantifying the volume of toxic effluent produced by burning construction materials within an enclosure.
"I did underwater welding, burning, construction, explosives, whatever it took.
Building elements: Frame buildings are buildings with exterior walls, floors, and roofs with combustible construction — or buildings with exterior walls of noncombustible or slow-burning construction with combustible floors and roofs.
