최근 유도무기 분야에서 많이 사용되고 있는 가스발생기는 온도가 낮고, 독성이나 부식성이 없는 연소 가스를 요구하고 있기 때문에 산화제로 Ammonium Nitrate(AN)를 주로 사용하고 있다. 그러나 순수한 AN은 온도에 따라 상이 변하는 단점이 있기 때문에 Phase Stabilized Ammonium Nitrate(PSAN)을 사용하고 있으며, 일반적으로 PSAN은 AN과는 다른 연소특성을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 가스발생기용 추진제의 조성을 연구하면서, 상안정제로 $KNO_3$와 $KCIO_4$을 사용하여 자체적으로 제조한 PSAN들과 ZnO=3%인 PSAN을 사용하여 얻은 추진제의 연소특성을 고찰하였고, 연소촉매를 사용하거나 RDX나 소량의 AP를 사용하여 보다 다양한 연소속도를 갖는 추진제를 제조할 수 있었다.

It was studied a compared estimation of the fire risk of the three kinds of the interior materials, such as a resist carpet, a resist-after-treatment plywood and sofa leather. Toxic gases, CO, CO2, NOx, SO2, HCN, HCI were detected during the combustion of the samples. A resist-carpet was more combustible than the resist-after-treatment plywood and sofa leather in the combustion characteristics and has a blow-up-combustion of combustion in all the samples. The generation of CO reached the lethal doses in minute after the combustion was begun. NOx and So2 were detected not more than each of the lethal doses, while HCN was detected in the carpet 20.6 times than the sofa leather, and 4.6 times than the resist-after-treatment plywood. HCI was detected in the carpet 4.48 times than the sofa leather and 2.47 times than the resist-after-treatment plywood. It is conclusion that the carpet was the highest in the fire risk among the three kinds of the interior materials.

Nowadays in Korea, KS F 2271 has been using for the test of fire safety performance of sandwich panels. Smoke toxicity test is the test for the toxicity evaluation of smoke and hazardous gas, caused by combustion of building materials and finishing materials. Smoke toxicity can be evaluated by the mean incapacitation time of mice; however this method is not a quantitative way. This test result can be influenced by the health status of mice and test condition. Specific optical density can be quantitatively measured by ISO 5659-2 single chamber method and toxic gases can be quantitatively measured by FTIR analysis. In this study, specific optical density of sandwich panel insulations, which are widely used in Korea, were tested using the ISO 5659-2 single chamber test method and compared with each test. Also, in the second test of three tests for each specimen, FTIR analysis was performed and quantitative test results(HCl, $NO_2$, etc) were compared with each test result.

현대의 건축 재료는 각종 고분자 화합물의 비중이 커지고 있어 건축 재료가 연소할 때 발생하는 가스의 성분비가 천연재료를 이용하던 과거의 건축물과 차이를 보인다. 실제로 근래의 건축재료 연소가스의 정성분석결과에서도 천연재료의 연소가스에서 발견되는 CO, $CO_2$ 외에도 HF, HCN, HBr, HCl, NO, $NO_2$, $SO_2$등의 화학종이 발견되고 있다. 이러한 화학종들은 고분자 화합물에서 발생하는 것으로 분석되며, 건축 재료에서 화합물의 비중이 높아지는 만큼 향후 이러한 화학종들이 건축물의 화재에서 대피의 주요 방해요인으로 작용할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 HF를 대상으로 동물 노출실험을 통하여 얻은 결과와 HF에 대한 기존연구를 비교 분석하여 HF의 독성에 대한 기초 연구를 수행하였다.

In this study, I evaluated toxicity that analyze performance of flame-retardant about flame-retardant painting wood and combustion gas that is based on the toxicity index. Processing condition of flame retardant solution and treatment method of samples didn't affect greatly to performance of flame retardant. Occurrence of combustion gas showed a almost similar result from the sample which spraying flame retardant solution and toxicity corresponds to high level, Hazard Class III, and the flame retardant solution saturation sample which makes put out Hazard Class II which is a low toxicity relatively.

현대 사회에서 차량은 널리 보급되어 있으며, 일상생활에서 없어서는 안 될 필수품이 되어 있다. 그러나 자동차의 증가와 함께 차량화재 및 교통사고 등과 같은 문제점들도 함께 늘고 있는 실정이다. 2009년 기준, 1년 동안의 전체 화재발생건수 47,071건 가운데 차량 화재의 발생건수가 5,958건으로 전체의 12.6% 정도를 차지하였다. 특히 차량 내장재의 주 재질은 가연성을 지닌 열가소성 합성수지들로서 화재가 발생하였을 경우, 다량의 가연성 가스 및 독성가스를 방출하기 때문에 인명 및 재산 피해를 증가시키는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 화재 시 발생하는 독성가스는 짧은 시간에 주변으로 확산되어 인명피해에 치명적인 영향을 준다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 차량에 대한 화재위험성을 다각적으로 평가하기 위해서 연소생성가스에 주안점을 두고 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과를 살펴보면, 차량내장재의 연기밀도는 624~172, 독성지수는 13.7~2.9인 것으로 나타났다.

Combustion characteristics and toxicity of combustion gas of wallpaper samples were analyzed to evaluate the fire risk of wallpaper furnished in living space. In this study ash residue ratio was measured with high temperature electric furnace, and thermal analysis was carried out with TGA. Combustion time and smoke concentration were measured with cone heater and combustion gas analyzer. Smoke density of samples was measured using smoke chamber of ASTM E 662. The experimental results were showed as followings. Pyrolysis of silk wallpaper started at lower temperature compared to the other samples. It means that the silk wallpaper can be ignited at low heat flux and will have more fire risk than the others. Ignition time by radiation heat flux of silk wallpaper is shorter compared to the other samples, so evacuation time must be reduced. In the case of vinyl coated silk wall paper, carbon mono oxide concentration is the highest and the toxicity and damage effect to consciousness was stronger compared to the other samples. Smoke density of silk wall paper and fire retardant mixed coated silk wall paper were very high due to vinyl coating.

Foam block, popularized as the self-interior goods, is susceptible to fire since the main material is the polyethylene flammable synthetic resin. However, it is widely used in homes, offices, and multi-use facilities. In order to understand the fire characteristics of the foam block, two kinds of foam blocks sold in the market (non-fire retardant and fire retardant) were evaluated according to standard of KS F 5660-1 (Reaction to fire test). In addition, the hazard analysis of the gas generated by the combustion of the specimen was performed using the FTIR gas analyzer. The cone calorimeter test showed that the ignition and flame combustion of both two specimens were burned as soon as the radiant heat blocking device was removed, and it was confirmed that the flame could become a rapid propagation factor during the fire. The analysis of the combustion gas through the FTIR gas analyzer showed that both the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide classified as the common combustion gases and the acrolein, ammonia, and hydrogen cyanide causing serious damage to the human body were detected substantially. This study showed that a foam block product has high ignitionability and generates toxic gases. Hence, it is urgently required to establish the standards used for properly classifying the combustion characteristics of the material on the basis of the use conditions of a foam block product and to prepare the standards on the purpose of use.

In this study, the experiment to confirm the risks of particulate material was carried out as a precedent study for developing the toxicity evaluation method of combustion products including the toxicity of particulate material. In the experiment, the test result of filtering and exposing particulate material among combustion products and that of exposing combustion products including particulate material were compared and analyzed by analyzing changes in average movement stop time according to the installation of Membrane filter between the stirring box and test box through the gas toxicity test of the same specimen to filter particulate material among combustion products. As the test result, in case of installing a filter, the average movement stop time of an experimental rat increased by up to 264% in case of lumber specimen and up to 179% in case of urethane specimen. Through such result, the necessity of identifying the toxicity of particulate material and carrying out quantitative toxicity test for particulate material was confirmed.
