From the article
"Unique Dangers Associated with Electric Battery Fires
First, during an electric vehicle fire, over 100 organic chemicals are generated, including toxic gases like carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide, both of which are fatal to humans."
It's propaganda. "primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda" You aren't getting any facts in there that don't further the authors claims, and the ones that are there are written in a dishonest way.
If the author said that "during an electric vehicle fire, over 100 organic chemicals are generated as opposed a conventional vehicle fire where 10/100/1000 different organic chemicals are generated" at least you'd have a basis of comparison, as it is, it just written to sound scary without informing you in any way what so ever.
- kube-system 6y agoOf course. I am under no impression that tort lawyers are either experts in, or interested in, chemical engineering or firefighting practices. Their expertise is in illustrating culpability for civil wrongs. The author is simply establishing that the situation is dangerous and has inherent differences that would necessitate different training. The actual differences in combustion byproducts are 100% irrelevant to the main point. The author isn't highlighting the dangers of a conventional fire not because they are not dangerous, but because they are universally trained for.
