Chemical products, such as CO and soot are formed in fires. Some of them are toxic. A prediction of the formation of products is important.
Aerosols play an important role in fire spread and reduce visibility; the chemical and physical properties of aerosols are important for new approaches within fire detector development; furthermore their toxicity is a threat for human and environment.
The fire chemistry modeling as well as the experimental fire chemistry performed in the group deal with this topic.
