Fire Byproducts
This animation shows the production and spread of various byproducts from a polystyrene fire, including soot, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and styrene monomers. It demonstrates how these byproducts affect visibility and air quality in both the fire compartment and adjacent spaces.

Key Concepts: Soot production, carbon monoxide, visibility reduction, toxic gas production, smoke movement
This animation illustrates the production of various byproducts based on the material properties of polystyrene. The soot yield (0.07 kg/kg), CO yield (0.03 kg/kg), and CO₂ yield (2.0 kg/kg) are based on NIST data for polystyrene combustion.
