Graduates from the Biological Sciences program will have demonstrated: An understanding of the tenets of modern biology and an understanding of how cellular functions are integrated from the molecular level to the cellular level, through to the level of organism, populations and functioning ecosystems.
Toxic hazard studies of flexible polyurethane foam include small scale testing and large. scale testing. The combustion modes examined include thermal decomposition, smoldering, and open flaming, and under ventilated flaming combustion. Of the small-. scale studies, only a few include smoldering foam.
They did not. study the toxicity of the combined components in the small-scale tests. This study was designed to examine and to compare the toxicological effects. from the combustion products of a flexible polyurethane foam and a polyester. fabric in order to determine the contribution of the combustion products from. each material to the overall toxicity of the mixture.
