This review is from: Engineering Analysis of Fires and Explosions (Hardcover)
In the preface to the book Mr. Noon quotes Thomas Fuller "Get the facts, or the facts will get you. And when you get 'em, get 'em right, or they will get you wrong." A nice sentiment.
I have only reviewed the third chapter and hopefully the remaining portion of the book is better grounded in reality. The third chapter on odorization is without a doubt one of the worst coverages of odorization I have seen recently. Mr Noon is thinks that natural gas utilities use an odorant that was abandoned in the 1960's. Mr. Noon has propane being odorized with amyl mercaptan, which has NEVER been used for this purpose.

I would suggest Mr. Noon obtain some background information before writing further on this subject. [...]
