From page 1...
... Published lists of prospective halon replacements were evaluated. Atmospheric chemistry relevant to ozone depletion was examined in the light of recent work, and the possibility of secondary environmental effects was studied.

From page 2...
... Chapter ~ points out the Navy's ongoing need for effective fire suppression and outlines the set of extensive requirements that candidate replacements for haloes must satisfy. Chapter 2 describes research on flames, mechanisms of flame suppression, methodology of agent evaluation including suppression efficiency and toxicology, manufacturability, and aspects of the search for alternative agents.
