  • Editorial Current Clinical Management of Smoke Inhalation Injuries. A
    Editorial Current clinical management of smoke inhalation injuries. A reality check. Arietta Spinou1, Nikolaos G. Koulouris2 1. Health Sport and Bioscience, University of East London, London, UK 2. 1st Respiratory Medicine Department, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens Medical School, Athens, Greece Corresponding author: Dr Arietta Spinou Email: [email protected] Address: Stratford Campus, University of East London Health Sport and Bioscience Water Lane, Stratford, London E15 4LZ Words: 1502 References: 30 Keywords: burns, smoke inhalation injury, clinical management, physiotherapy To the Editor, A major disaster is happening at the moment, as the Camp Fire, Woolsey Fire and Hill Fire are burning in California. Camp Fire in Northern California has already burned 546.3 km2 and is the deadliest wildfire in the history of the state, with 48 fatalities and still counting (1). It was also only recently, in July 2018, when a fire entered the populated area of Mati, Greece, and created a wildland urban interface that caused 99 fatalities and numerous burns and smoke inhalation injuries. A few years ago, in August 2007, 67 people died in a megafire event in the Peloponnese region, Greece, which was created by 55 simultaneous large fires (based on size, intensity, environmental and socio-economic impact) (2). These and numerous other tragic incidents highlight the importance of our current clinical management in the victims of fire. Burns are categorised according to depth, and their severity depends on the extent (percentage of total body surface area), age of the individual and accompanied smoke inhalation. Essential treatment for the burn victims remains the resuscitation with intravenous fluids to maintain optimal fluid balance, nutrition optimisation, wound coverage, and pain control (3).

  • A Toxicological Review of the Products of Combustion
    HPA-CHaPD-004 A Toxicological Review of the Products of Combustion J C Wakefield ABSTRACT The Chemical Hazards and Poisons Division (CHaPD) is frequently required to advise on the health effects arising from incidents due to fires. The purpose of this review is to consider the toxicity of combustion products. Following smoke inhalation, toxicity may result either from thermal injury, or from the toxic effects of substances present. This review considers only the latter, and not thermal injury, and aims to identify generalisations which may be made regarding the toxicity of common products present in fire smoke, with respect to the combustion conditions (temperature, oxygen availability, etc.), focusing largely on the adverse health effects to humans following acute exposure to these chemicals in smoke. The prediction of toxic combustion products is a complex area and there is the potential for generation of a huge range of pyrolysis products depending on the nature of the fire and the conditions of burning. Although each fire will have individual characteristics and will ultimately need to be considered on a case by case basis there are commonalities, particularly with regard to the most important components relating to toxicity. © Health Protection Agency Approval: February 2010 Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards Publication: February 2010 Chemical Hazards and Poisons Division £15.00 Chilton, Didcot, Oxfordshire OX11 0RQ ISBN 978-0-85951- 663-1 This report from HPA Chemical Hazards and Poisons Division reflects understanding and evaluation of the current scientific evidence as presented and referenced in this document.

  • Potential Health Impacts Associated with Peat Smoke: a Review
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 88:133–138, 2005 Potential health impacts associated with peat smoke: a review A L Hinwood1 and C M Rodriguez2 1 Centre for Ecosystem Management, Edith Cowan University, 100 Joondalup Drive, Joondalup 6027. [email protected] 2 School of Public Health, Curtin University, Kent St Bentley, WA 6102 [email protected] Manuscript received September 2004; accepted June, 2005 Abstract In Western Australia, peat is distributed throughout the Swan Coastal Plain, in the South West and North West regions of the State. Peat is typically associated with wetlands and its distribution has significantly reduced over the past 100 years. The major threats to the current distribution of peat are fire and land use changes. Peat is thought to be at increased risk of fire in particular due to the proximity of residential development and the drying period being experienced in South Western Australia. Peat, largely arising from accumulated plant matter, burns very easily when dry and fire in these systems is often very hard to extinguish due to the depth of material. Peat smoke is made up of a complex mixture of water vapour, gases and fine particles. In general, peat smoke is characterized by high concentrations of organic carbon, elemental carbon, and potassium. The gases in peat smoke include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbonyl compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other irritant and hazardous volatile organic compounds. All of these have been shown to cause deleterious physiologic responses at high concentrations in laboratory studies of animals and a limited number of chamber studies of humans at lower concentrations.

Swarge, and M.R. Somayajulu High Energy Materials Research Laboratory, Pune-411 021 ABSTRACT Dissemination of sensory irritants in the atmosphere with the help of an evaporating mixture is adopted. Experiments were carried out to find an alternative sensory irritant which is more irritating and less toxic than the existing sensory irritating agents and originating from a natural source. Extract of red pepper, the oleoresin, is less toxic than the existing sensory irritants and is analysed for its constituents. Thermal studies of capsaicin and the composition indicate that the composition ignites at 190 °C whereas capsaicinoids boil at 214 °C. Lactose-KClO3 reaction was found to release sufficient thermal energy to evaporate capsaicinoids into the atmosphere without degeneration. The compositions are both friction and impact insensitive. The dissemination of capsaicinoids into the atmosphere was confirmed using HPLC technique. Keywords: Red pepper, oleoresin, ortho benzylidene melanonitrile, 1- chloroacetophenone, tear gas, dibenz (b, f)-1,4 oxazepine, lactose-KClO3 , capsaicinoids 1.
