New Methodology to Assess Health and Environmental Impact of Flame Resistant (FR) Textiles

Abstract

The objectives of this work were: Use a combination of pyrolysis - gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to develop a methodology to identify the hazardous pyrolysis/combustion products from FR fabrics and textiles. Use this method to establish a scoring system to assess the health and environmental impact of current FR materials used in Army clothing.
