The literature on soot suppression, in particular from fuels relevant to fires, has been reviewed. The efficient additives required for soot suppression from gaseous fuels are mainly metallic salts, typically barium. On the other hand, the reduction of the smoke formation tendency of polymeric materials has been achieved by an enormous variety of products, although metal oxides and hydroxides figure prominently among them.
