Abstract
A reduced toxicity baseline screening smoke composition and method includes a mixture of lithium perchlorate and boron. The mixture may further include a burn rate modifier and any of an inorganic chloride coolant and a carbonate coolant. The lithium perchlorate may be in the range of 75% to 95% parts by weight. The boron may be in the range of 5% to 25% parts by weight. The any of an inorganic chloride coolant and a carbonate coolant may be in the range of 5% to 25% parts by weight. The mixture may include boron oxide.
