Monitoring firefighter exposure to air toxins at prescribed burns of forest and range biomass. Forest Service research paper
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5271322
A variety of potent air toxins are in the smoke produced by burning forest and range biomass. Preliminary data on firefighter exposures to carbon monoxide and formaldehyde at four prescribed burns of Western United States natural fuels are presented. Formaldehyde may be correlated to carbon monoxide emissions. The firefighters' exposures to these compounds relative to workplace standards are discussed.
