1阻燃剂的使用和几十年前的火灾相比,现代建筑火灾对消防队员所产生的风险已经发生了变化,部分原因在于美国家庭中使用合成材料的数量在不断增加。这些人造材料高度易燃,并且可产生大量的烟气和其它产物。在过去的40多年里,很多的家庭易燃日用品已被加入了阻燃剂,用来满足加利福尼亚州在1975年所采用的TB117阻燃测试标准。TB117是针对暴露的填充材料,如泡沫进行的明火测试。随后,在填充材料中加入 1 Use of Flame Retardants The risk posed to firefighters by modern building fires has changed over several decades ago, in part because of the growing use of synthetic materials in homes in the United States. These synthetic materials are highly flammable and can generate large amounts of flue gas and other products. For more than 40 years, many household flammable commodities have been added flame retardants to meet the TB117 fire-retardant test standard adopted by California in 1975. TB117 is an open flame test for exposed filler materials such as foams. Subsequently, it is added to the filler material
