Toxicity monitoring after fire is an essential aspect of ensuring the safety and well-being of people and property. The incidences of fire accidents have been on the rise in recent years, and toxic and harmful gases and vapors are usually present during a fire accident. These gases can cause severe harm to people and property, and therefore, it is crucial to monitor their production during a fire incident.
Recent articles and studies highlight the importance of analyzing the toxicity of gases released during a fire. Failure to monitor the toxicity of these gases can lead to severe health complications, respiratory distress, and even death. Therefore, it is vital to analyze the composition of the gases released during a fire to determine their toxicity levels and take necessary action.
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a technique that can provide precise and accurate analysis of the toxic gases present after a fire. It is a non-destructive technique that analyzes the absorption of infrared radiation by molecules in the sample. It allows for the identification and quantification of multiple gases simultaneously, including carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), formaldehyde (CH2O), phosgene (COCl2) and other hazardous gases.
ETG Risorse e Tecnologia produces both rack-mounted and portable FTIR analyzers that can be used for toxicity monitoring after fire incidents. These devices offer accurate and reliable results, allowing emergency responders and fire investigators to quickly assess the situation and take necessary action.
