Popis:	This chapter describes an application of the isolated and perfused lung model in combination with the steady-state tube furnace (Purser furnace, ISO 19700) This standardised furnace test method has been developed specifically to run small-scale fire smoke toxicity tests at well-defined combustion and ventilation conditions. The combination of the lung model and furnace methods provides a highly potent technique for in vivo investigations of smoke exposure on lung tissues. The harmful effects of fire effluents on the function of the lung have been investigated using a new technique, known as the isolated and perfused lung model . This has previously been used for toxicological investigations and for asthma/allergy research of substances such as terpenes and isocyanates.
