While escaping from a building in which a fire is burning, 40 people pass through a smoky
room in which the CO volume fraction
1000 uL/L, the HCN volume fraction
uL/L, and the C02, volume fraction is
0.02. Despite some visible smoke in the
they cross the room in about 10 seconds.
Calculate the fractional effective dose of
narcotic gases each person has accumulated
and estimate whether all of them will make
to the exit door.
