Particularly dangerous are the respiratory toxins, which occur in different concentrations and whose pollutant content increases depending on the duration of exposure.

In order to minimize the dangers of smoke and fire gases, modern smoke extraction systems are of great importance. These systems are defined in the building regulations as essential measures to support effective extinguishing work. They help vent smoke through special vents to keep people safe.
