techniques for safety; standardization, legislation, inspection, insurance, costing aspects, human behaviour and safety and the like. The emphasis is on safety risks, as distinct from health risks, but may include both. This journal covers all aspects of fire behaviour, impact and protection. Fire Sciences covers experimental or theoretical studies of fire initiation and growth, fire containment, fire threat to people and the environment and fire safety engineering. It addresses such topics as incident investigations/case histories, hazardous chemicals management, hazardous leaks prevention, risk assessment, process hazards evaluation, industrial hygiene, fire and explosion analysis, preventive maintenance, vapor cloud dispersion, and regulatory compliance, training, education, and other areas in process safety and loss prevention, including emerging concerns like plant and/or process security. This covers all aspects of the polymer field and the end uses where polymers find application; the important developments in the fields of natural products - wood and cellulosics; non-polymeric materials - metals and ceramics; as well as the chemistry and industrial applications of fire retardant chemicals. Contributions will be particularly welcomed on heat release; properties of combustion products - smoke opacity, toxicity and corrosivity; modelling and testing.
