An important conclusion demonstrated by this study is related to the effect of 

 treatment level on pyrolysis and combustion. A direct comparison or classification of 

 inorganic chemicals on the basis of the effects these chemicals have on pyrolysis and 

 combustion at one treatment level may often be misleading and lead to erroneous 

 conclusions concerning other levels of treatment. 



Correlation of the results of this study with actual fire test data will be required 

 to fully characterize the relationships. Further studies including quantification of 

 volatile products as a function of chemical quantity will help to indicate the reactions 

 involved. • « •
