Work continues on several types of evacuation models, but their use in engineering analysis lags behaind the state of the art. There is little new modeling or data work in the field of toxicity and other fire effects on people. International efforts to write standards for fire hazard assessment, however, have resulted in much controversy over such details as soicetal safety objectives and the reasonableness of alternative assumptions, at the fringes of what is known, regarding fire effects on people. These controversies may lead to important new research but for now are being debated with considerable use of non-peer-reviewed data. To purchase a copy of this article, click the Buy Now link below.
