The enormous complexity of the coupled phenomena of fire growth and toxic species generation presents a huge challenge to predictive methodologies. Their prediction is hampered by the fact that the combustible materials involved in real fires are typically poorly defined, not having benefited from the detailed studies undertaken in the wider combustion community on idealised fuels. Moreover, the often significant effects of finite-rate chemistry greatly complicate representations of gas-phase co
