An attempt was made to develop a method for the determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis and chemical sample desorption of the 3M 3500 passive diffusion sampler. The method included a complex mixture of 205 polar and non-polar …

The potential reduction of risk in LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) road transport due to the adoption of passive fire protectionswas investigated. Experimental data available for small scale vessels fully engulfed by a fire were extended to real scale road and rail tankers through a finite elements model. …
