Abstract
Analysis of the combustion products of plastics was undertaken to provide scientists and engineers with information needed to design incinerators in order to maximize their efficiency while minimizing maintainance and pollution, to identify products of incomplete combustion potentially recoverable for their fuel or crude chemical value; and to identify products of incomplete combustion which would be acutely toxic in an accidental fire. Plastics studied were polyvinyl chloride, polysulfone, polyurethanes, polyimide, Lopac, Barex, phenol formaldehyde, urea formaldehyde, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyphenylene oxide, polyester, synthetic fabrics (Dacron, Orlon, nylon), and natural products (wood and wool).
