HAZARDS OF CARBON TETRACHLORIDE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS: RECOMMENDED PRACTICES NUMBER 3.
Abstract
The report attempted to present just a few of the highlights of the history of the chemical liquid known as carbon tetrachloride. Some of its early uses in medicine and its later applications in industry and as a fire extinguishant were discussed. The toxicity of carbon tetrachloride, particularly with reference to its use as a fire extinguishant, was examined in some detail. And finally, its efficiency in extinguishing fires in hydrocarbon fuels was analyzed. (Author)
