Smoke is laden with a host of lethal toxins, including:
Carbon monoxide
Hydrogen chloride
Sulphur dioxide
Ammonia
Formaldehyde
Benzene
Carbon monoxide (co) is the major toxin responsible for most fire-related fatalities.
It's often called "the silent killer" because it's odorless, colorless, and incredibly deadly.
Co is present in virtually all fires, and is lethal in concentrations as low as 0.5% (500 ppm) and incapacitating in even lower concentrations.
Engulfed in smoke, it's difficult to see, breathe or communicate.
People exposed to smoke quickly lose the clear-headedness, mobility and orientation that are vital to a safe escape. Panic-stricken victims often hyperventilate, gulping in massive amounts of toxic smoke and fumes and greatly hastening their demise.
Shockingly, the time interval from detection to death can be as little as 60 seconds.
A smoke alarm or co detector will alert you to the presence of smoke or toxic gas, but it will not provide a passage to safety. If you're more than 30 seconds or so away from an exit, you may not make it without some sort of breathing protection.
