Excerpt from Executive Summary for the Workshop on Developing a Predictive Capability for Co Formation in Fires

The physiological effects of CO on humans were reviewed briefly. Table 1 lists the concentrations required to induce various effects. Several examples of fire tests were shown which indicate that concentrations of CO in structures often reach extremely hazardous levels. Perhaps the most dramatic example is the Sharon, PA fire of September 26, 1987 where one of the victims was found to have a very high (certainly fatal) carboxyhemoglobin level.

The complexity involved with predicting CO levels in real fires was stressed by listing the stages in a real fire. From this list it was clear that the mechanisms responsible for C0 formation would change during the history of an enclosure fire.
