A Study on the Toxicity Evaluation of Combustion gases from the Interior materials of Rail passenger car

초록

It is well-known fact that most people in fire is dead due to toxic gases produced from the combustion of railway vehicle’s interior materials such as seat cover, cushion foam, flooring, and panel. Particularly, In the case of being occurred the fire in the subway car, it is more dangerous because it runs under the ground and enclosed space. To quantify toxic gases, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR) is mostly used because of its convenience, time-saving, and credibility. Although many countries have the regulation related to the possible amount of toxic gases, handful and accurate measuring method for these besides FT-IR are not exactly suggested yet. In this study, it is intended to examine the effectiveness of using the FT-IR as well as propose the proper spectral band on each gas which wants to analyze.
