Abstract

NH2 radical-generating compounds, independent of the gas generant composition, reduce the toxicity of effluent gases produced by combustion of nonazide gas generating compositions used to inflate vehicle occupant restraint systems. By selective reactive of the NH2 radical with NO in the combustion gas, N2 is formed thereby decreasing the concentration of toxic nitrogen oxides therein. Placement of the reducing compounds proximate to the gas generant bed ensures intimate contact with the combustion gases, and yet still provides a noninvasive method of toxic gas reduction.
