✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Concentrations of elements were determined in tracheal specimeans of fatal fire casualties and of non‐fire fatalities. Elevated concentrations of antimony, bromine, zinc, chromium, cobalt, iron, lead, cadmium and gold found in the group exposed to the fire environment were associated with deposition of soot. The presence of raised concentrations of antimony in fatalities was found to occur in association with increased content of carboxyhaemoglobin in blood and was greatest in fires involving major destruction of property. A relationship between the increased concentration of this element and the use of antimony containing fire‐retardants in construction materials could not be demonstrated.
