occur following the destructive disasters, such as flood, fire, explosion and
diffuse of poison gas, etc. Harmful substances enter the body via respire,
contamination, food chain. Toxicology
studies the harmful effects of chemical, biological and physical agents in
biological systems that establishes the extent of damage in living organisms.
Smoke inhalation is the primary cause of death according to fire

contain unburnt products such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen and even carbon.
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, but highly toxic. Carbon
monoxide binds to hemoglobin at the same sites as oxygen, but approximately 200
times more tightly. This leads to environmental pollution, disases and deaths.
