요약
심하게 소손된 화재현장은 남아 있는 잔존물만으로 초기 화재의 유형을 판단하기 곤란할 때가 많다. 화재로 인해 사람이 사망하였을 경우 혈중 헤모글로빈(Hb)-일산화탄소(CO) 농도는 생존 당시의 화재의 유형을 가늠할 수 있으며 촉진제를 사용한 급격한 화재의 경우 열기와 유독가스로 인해 재실자의 생존은 화재진행속도와 비례되어 체내 Hb-CO 농도는 낮았으며, 훈소와 같이 서서히 진행되는 연소의 경우 오랜 시간 호흡하면서 체내에 축적되는 CO 농도는 증가하였다. 이러한 인체의 Hb-CO 농도를 분석하면 생존 시 어떠한 형태의 화재에 노출되었는지 알 수 있다. 휘발유로 분신한 자살의 경우를 포함해 훈소성 화재사에 이르기까지 Hb-CO 농도는 3 %에서 최고 93 %로 다양한 농도를 보였다.
Abstract
Fire patterns have been used to determine the origin and cause of fires in every setting imaginable. However, it is very difficult to identify fire patterns and causes from the fire-damaged remains of a devastated structure. If someone was killed by the fire, it is possible to identify fire patterns by analyzing the Hb-CO concentration in charred bodies of deceased as well as the pace of the fire. For example, a low level of Hb-CO concentration in the charred bodies indicate a rapid fire with accelerants and the death was caused by severe heat and thick toxic fumes. However, a high level of Hb-CO concentration in the charred bodies demonstrates that the fire was slow and/or there was a flameless form of combustion. Thus, it is possible to identify fire patterns through analyzing the level of Hb-CO concentration on the dead from the fire. In this study, the Hb-CO concentration in the charred bodies was from 3 % at the case of gas burning oneself to death to 93 % at the death caused by smoldering fire.
