Abstract: Tobacco endgame is a focal point of discussion at both national and international levels. We aimed to describe efforts related to achieving the tobacco endgame in the Republic of Korea, an exemplar of a country with endgame aspirations, and compare them with the efforts of other nations. We reviewed the tobacco endgame efforts of three nations considered tobacco control leaders: New Zealand (NZ), Australia and Finland. The efforts/attempts of each country were described using an endgame strategy category. The tobacco control leaders had explicit goals to achieve a smoking prevalence of % before a target date and had legislation and research centres for tobacco control and/or endgame. NZ is implementing a mixture of conventional and innovative endgame interventions the others use incremental conventional approaches. In Korea, there has been an attempt to ban the sale and manufacture of combustible cigarettes. The attempt led to the filing of a petition, and a survey of adults showed 70% supported the legislation banning tobacco. The Korean government mentioned a tobacco endgame in a 2019 plan, yet a target and an end date were absent. The 2019 plan in Korea included incremental FCTC strategies. Practices in the leading countries show that legislation and research are key to ending the tobacco epidemic. The MPOWER measures must be strengthened, endgame objectives must be set and bold strategies must be adopted. Key endgame policies include those with evidence of effectiveness, such as retailer reductions.

Abstract: The interactions of Calcium carbonate (e.g., eggshell powder) and Lignin with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) when used as fire retardants were investigated. Three mixing ratios ‐ 1:3, 1:1, and 3:1, were used with natural fibre reinforced composites containing a hemp mat and an epoxy matrix manufactured using a light resin transfer moulding (L‐RTM) process. The thermal decomposition of the retardant mixtures and composites was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The findings showed that even though the decomposition reactions of APP with eggshell powder and lignin mixtures interacted and overlapped, the same interactions could not be seen in the composites. In the composite form while the residue was affected by the retardant, the decomposition reactions were driven primarily by the hemp and epoxy. Flammability of the composites was studied by testing to 20, 35, 50, and 75 kW/m 2 with a cone calorimeter, and determining the critical heat flux. While the s les with eggshell powder had higher ignition times, the critical heat flux for ignition was 13 kW/m 2 for all s le groups except for a ratio of 1:3 APP to eggshell powder, which was 14 kW/m 2 . The lowest burning rates (mass loss and heat release) occurred in composites containing only APP, however, the addition of eggshell powder or lignin at even a ratio of 3:1 APP to either provided a notable reduction.

Abstract: The feasibility of using sugar‐cane bagasse as a reinforcement for natural fiber composites and the performance of these composites under fire conditions was investigated. Plies were manufactured using a process, which involved alkali‐treating bagasse, blending, pressing, and drying. Soaking durations of 30 minutes and 24 hours were compared. Composites were then made with these plies using a light resin transfer molding process. The composites were characterized and compared to a commercial hemp fabric using thermogravimetric analysis for thermal stability and char yield, isotropic hot disc method for thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity, and cone calorimeter for flammability. The investigation found that bagasse plies could be successfully used in composite manufacture, but posed a greater ignition hazard, and a comparable burning behavior hazard to the commercial product when tested at a radiant heat flux of 35 kW/m 2 . Thirty minutes treating resulted in a ply, which resulted in a char yield of 28%. Although in the composite form, there were no significant differences between all s le groups. With regards to ignition, the hemp composite had the latest time‐to‐ignition of 137 seconds. Comparison of the thermal properties to the ignition times showed that higher values of thermal properties resulted in later ignition times. The composite with the 30‐minute treated bagasse had a total heat release of 159 MJ/m 2 and average heat release rate of 263 kW/m 2 , while the peak heat release rate was lower for the 24‐hour treated bagasse at 537 kW/m 2 . Overall, no significant differences in the two treatment durations were observed.

Abstract: This article presents the experimental results of stone wool–layered sandwich constructions, with either steel or gypsum claddings, tested under four different heating exposures: 7 kW/m 2 incident radiant heat flux exposure, 60 kW/m 2 incident radiant heat flux exposure, parametric time–temperature curve exposure and ISO 834 standard time–temperature exposure. The test apparatus used were a movable radiant panel system, a mid-scale furnace (1.5 m 3 ) and a large-scale furnace (15 m 3 ). The results show that reduced-scale tests are capable of reproducing the heat transferred through the construction at large scale provided there is limited mechanical degradation. The results indicate that the availability of oxygen is fundamental to the fire behaviour of the sandwich composites tested. Reactions occurring in stone wool micro-scale testing, such as oxidative combustion of the binder or crystallisation of the fibres, have a limited effect on the temperature increase when wool is protected from air entrainment.
