Investigation of soot deposits by IR spectroscopy to detect the residual content of toxic products released during a fire
The article presents statistical data on the main indicators of the fire situation on the territory of the Russian Federation. Analyzed toxic products of combustion in a fire and the materials from which they are released, as well as their negative impact on the human body. The results of the study of soot deposits during the burnout of interior decoration and easily changeable furnishings (furniture, decoration materials) by the method of FTIR spectroscopy. The authors provide basic information about the method of infrared spectroscopy, as one of the most effective methods for conducting fire-technical expertise. The analysis of soot deposits of common polymeric materials that are used in the manufacture of furniture and finishing materials, and it was found that the method of IR spectroscopy allows you to detect the main components of toxic combustion products in soot deposits.
