Agglomerated Soot from an Industrial Fire
This is a piece of agglomerated soot from an large plumbing
warehouse fire. The minerals associated with the soot
suggests that this may have been from mineral filled PVC pipe, much of which was
consumed by this fire. This was from an environmental
tapelift collected in a home a few hundred meters (a little over 200 yards) away
from the fire.
