THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF THE SELF-EXTINGUISHING POLYSTYRENE
The clinical affection picture of the construction materials combustion products does not correspond to often declared poisoning by carbon dioxide and carbon monooxide. On the basis of instrumental studies of thermal decomposition of self-extinguishing polystyrene products the authors prove that halogenic compounds may be the reason of mass destruction of people in the event of fire. The halogenic compounds are added to the foamed polystyrene as flame retardants.
