Carbon monoxide production was measured for selected fibers without and with fire retardants. The yield of carbon monoxide tended to decrease with increasing fire re tardant content in the majority of cases, but not in all cases. There appeared to be some fire retardant levels giving minimum yields of carbon monoxide.
