Title:
New Methodology to Assess Health and Environmental Impact of Flame Resistant (FR) Textiles
Report Date:
2020-09-23
Abstract:
In response to the increasing threat of flame events in conflicts over the last few decades there is increased demand for flame resistant (FR)uniforms to be fielded more quickly. While the FR uniforms have increased Soldier protection during a flame event, there is a question of the threat posed by the toxicity of the compounds evolved from those uniforms during and after a flame event. Of particular concern are the compounds released as a consequence of the flame event that the Soldier inhales.
