Question

smoke kills more than fire why?​

Answer 1

Toxic smoke inhalation causes more fire-related deaths than do the fires themselves. All combustible materials produce some amount of toxic smoke when they burn. How much toxic smoke will be emitted depends on the material, the amount of oxygen available and how long it burns.

Answer 2

Answer:

All combustible materials produce toxic smoke when they burn. The amount of smoke emitted will depend on the material used, the amount of oxygen available, and how long the material burns. This matters because toxic smoke inhalation typically causes more fire-related deaths than the fires themselves. In high concentrations over a long time, toxic smoke exposure also creates numerous hazardous health conditions. ,In the early stages of a fire, the smoke produced comes from the first items ignited, often furniture and other room contents. As the fire grows, the volume and toxicity of the smoke increases significantly. If not extinguished or exhausted on its own, the fire continues to consume room contents as well as combustible building materials – including if on the building exterior – if the fire breaks through windows. When fire and smoke spread throughout the building to the façade, escape becomes more difficult – even for occupants in remote parts of the building.

Home fires develop today 5-10 times faster than they did in the 1950s. The safety of building occupants and first-responders depends largely on how a building performs during a fire, especially in terms of the release of thick, toxic smoke.

ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation is a natural fire barrier, as the fibres are inherently non-combustible and can resist temperatures up to 1,000º C. And with its minimal organic content, ROCKWOOL insulation will not produce any significant toxic smoke.
