Physiological Responses to Firefighting in Extreme Temperatures Do Not Compare to Firefighting in Temperate Conditions [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine physiological responses to two different simulated firefighting exercises: a firefighting exercise with flashovers, smoke, poor visibility and extreme temperatures (300°) in a burning container and a standard

In Situ Generation of Gel Foam via Heat-Accelerated Calcium Ion Release From Nano-CaCO<sub>3</sub> for Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Suppression and Prevention. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)We present a heat‐accelerated in situ crosslinking strategy to create an alginate gel foam for lithium‐ion battery fire suppression. At ambient temperature, the formulation maintains low viscosity for easy foam generation. After exposure to fire, δ‐gluconolactone hydrolysis accelerates, enabling rapid Ca2+ release from CaCO3 and rapid ionic ...
