The radiation characteristics of liquefied natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline, and other hydrocarbon fires were stressed. Also covered were the limitations of currently available models, the thermal radiation damage to exposed human skin, and the criteria for determining thermal radiation hazards. It was concluded that the analysis and correlation results could be used as a sequential algorithm for the evaluation of thermal radiation hazards produced by hydrocarbon pool fires.
