Ventilated protective clothing for healthcare staff in contaminated environments
Štenclová, Kristýna ; Kopečková, Barbora (referee) ; Fišer, Jan (advisor)
Focus of the masters thesis is experimental verification of cooling effect of ambient air stream directed under a protective clothing of a human. The first part is a review of literature encompassing concepts related to thermal comfort and heat transfer. Possibilities of cooling a human who is moving in high ambient temperature environment are introduced in this part. The second part is focused on hypotheses devised and experiments performed. The last part is focused on results of the experiments and their comparison with an experiment described in literature.

Toxic smoke in the burning of selected substances, detection and protection intervening fire
ŠEBA, Jaroslav
Toxic products of combustion released by selected substances {--} their detection and the protection of firefighters I have opted to focus my Bachelor paper on this subject on the strength of my 20 years of working at the law-enforcing department of Fire Rescue Service; consequently, I am well aware of the difficulties that the firefigthers meet in their attempts at obtaining vital information. I have decided to investigate the subject and offer the results so that the fireman units could be properly trained. The paper is divided into several sections. The first aims to find out to what extent the units of the South Bohemian Fire Rescue Service are equipped with detection devices; the second examines the options of protection available to the firefighters in action; and the third section pays attention to the current standards of training given to the firefighting units deployed in the regional Service. The fourth section contains a comprehensive chapter on the noxious products of combustion, presenting available information on substances most often released in their burning. The next section provides a questionnaire survey designed to map the knowledgeability of firefighters and, to permit comparisons, also the awareness that the general public has of the substances and the toxicity of their combustion products. The chapter included to present evaluations and analyses starts with a description of materials to be ignited. The products of their burning were gathered using the Tenax tubes to be later analyzed in the laboratory. The lab analysis results are presented together with the major effects that the substances may have on human body. With the questionnaire survey evaluated, it became obvious that the firefighters were considerably better informed than the general public in all areas thus surveyed. Still, the incorrect answers returned by the freighters testify to a great deal of deficiencies that the system of training should address and regular training sessions of units should remedy. Excellent results were obtained for firefighters in action, since in most cases their level of protection was found higher than what was actually necessary. The level of knowledge encountered in the general public respondents proved to be below the average. Their awareness of hazards that the combustion products may pose for humans should be heightened (e.g. through a campaign able to provide information on the subject) since the products may be detrimental to the health of just anybody.

The aktivity of municipal volunteer fire company with a view to decontamination
MALÍK, Daniel
In this thesis the procedures and methods of simplified decontamination carried out by fire brigade voluntary troops of a municipality with the help of available technique and acquired knowledge are elaborated. At present state the system and categories of fire protection troops, the plan of area coverage and the determination of selected fire protection troops to decontamination are described. The next part is devoted to decontamination itself. This term, the description and division of intervention place into zones, further the description of decontamination station and its space are analysed. Decontamination carried out by emergency facilities is used as the base for the created methodology. At the end of this part the decontamination of individuals and the technique is mentioned. In the questionnaire research the state of knowledge and equipment of fire brigade voluntary troops concerning decontamination is found out. On the basis of these facts the methodological list Simplified Decontamination in Fire Brigade Voluntary Troops of a Municipality was created. It will serve as a tool for professional preparation and education of their members, especially determined fire protection troops for decontamination.
