            1. S@THE POSSIBILITY THAT U.S. MARINE CORPS PERSONNEL MAY BE IN
            CLOS  AN D UNAVOIDABLE PROXIMITY TO LARGE HIGH PRESSURE (6ooo-8ooo
            PSI) OIL WELL FIRES PROMPTS A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS REGARDING
            RESPIRJTORY HAZARDS AND PROTECTION.
            2.  @ ARE THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE FIRES SUCH THAT
            HAZA@DOUS CONCENTRATIONS OF COMBUSTION BY-PRODUCTS WILL OCCUR AT
            GROUND LEVEL? I.E. WILL THE PLUME REACH HIGH ENOUGH ALTITUDES AND
            DISPERSE UNDER CALM CONDITIONS SUCH THERE IS LITTLE RISK TO
            INDIVIDUALS ON THE GROUND? WILL SIMILAR DISPERSAL TAKE PLACE UNDER
            WINDY CONDITIONS? DOES THE NATURAL AVOIDANCE OF THE HEAT OF
            COMBUSTION LIMIT EXPOSURE TO SIGNIFICANT RESPIRED CONCENTRATIONS OF
            HAZAR@S BY-PRODUCTS?
      WILL GAS MASK FILTERS CURRENTLY IN USE PROTECT AGAINST
            PETROLEUM COMBUSTION BY-PRODUCTS? FOR HOW LONG UNDER WHAT
            COND @ DNS?
            4.       IS THERE ANY FIELDABLE EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD BE USEFUL IN
            MONITORING THESE BY-PRODUCTS IN A COMBAT SITUATION THAT COULD PROVIDE
            FIELD COMMANDERS WITH TACTICALLY USEFUL (DUALITATIVE AND OUANTITIVE)
            INFORMATION?                @l Lo] &Kw
