Smoke suppression refers to techniques and technologies designed to reduce or eliminate the production and spread of smoke during a fire, thereby improving visibility and reducing toxic exposure for occupants and firefighters. This is achieved through the use of chemical agents, fire suppression systems, and building design strategies that limit smoke generation and enhance ventilation.

Chemical agents are substances that can cause harm or alter the physiology of organisms, often used in warfare, industry, or agriculture. They can be classified based on their effects, such as nerve agents, blister agents, or choking agents, and require specific handling and safety measures to mitigate their risks.

Chemical Agents

Fire suppression systems are integral safety mechanisms designed to detect and extinguish fires automatically, often using substances like water, foam, or inert gases to minimize damage and prevent the spread of fire. They are crucial in both commercial and residential settings, ensuring rapid response to fire outbreaks and enhancing overall safety and property protection.
