Nanotechnology Use in Fire Protection - Need for Environmental Friendliness

Abstract

There is a serious need to develop a more effective fire protection technology as the morbidities and the mortalities from the current seem to be rather insufficient . However , the nanotechnology fire protection industry is still in the infancy stage , developing solutions that are out of reach of the common man today . Nanotechnology is not only found to increase the durability , strength

and efficiency of the material , but also increase it fire resistance along with self-cleansing action . A great number of fire-retarders have nanotechnology incorporated . A checklist needs to be prepared that would be required by the end user to ensure adequate protection of human life and the environment Nanotechnology can also help in the detection and prevention of fires The technology seems to be promising with various applications However , only if the stakeholders become more interested would this technology become cheaper and permit more extensive use

Introduction

Due to the serious impact of fire on the mortality , morbidity (burns etc ) and the losses to property , there is an urgent need for fire protection considering the overcrowding in cities and the serious impact of fires on the environment . In the year 2003 , about 70 billion Euros were lost over fire damages , and hence , people are trying to build fire resistant buildings with both active and passive features (Innovations Report , 2004

Nanotechnology currently has a very small market...
