What are Halogens?
• Highly reactive elements• Ex: Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine• Very Stable, under normal conditions
When Burned:• Toxic gases are emitted• These gases can create acid when mixed with

Effects of Smoke
• Smoke inhalation accounts for the majority of fire related injuries
• Smoke can impede eyesight or cause temporary blindness during a fire
LSZH compounds:• Thermoplastic polymers• Very light, or clearer smoke,
is created during combustion • Greatly increases visibility in
the event of a fire
