THE TOXICITY OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS OF PYROTECHNICS.

Abstract

The toxic properties of nine pyrotechnic items were determined from a study of the inhalation toxicity of their combustion products. The chemical composition and physical properties of these combustion products probably both play important, but not necessarily independent, roles in the production of toxic responses. (Author)
