Summary
Presents a comprehensive and up-to-date examination of research, development, and testing for Halon replacements. Discusses the current scientific basis for government regulatory decisions mandating Halon phaseout. Addresses related environmental issues, including atmospheric chemistry andmodeling, corrosivity, and toxicology. Reports recent progress in understanding the chemistry of flame inhibition as well as state-of-the-art databases for computer simulation of this complex chemistry.
