“…This environmentally friendly technology may potentially serve as a supplementary method of fire safety, such as installing the system permanently in areas susceptible to fires. The application of acoustic waves can be used to limit the spread of fire, including the ability to control the flames and the combustion process [61]- [66].…”

Flame extinguishing methods that are safe for humans and non-invasive to the surrounding environment are being sought worldwide. One of them is acoustic technology, which appears to be an innovative and non-invasive means for flame extinguishing. A highpower and long-range extinguisher was built to explore the possibility of using this environmentally friendly technology. The article includes experimental results, obtained from a laboratory stand, on the possibility of extinguishing flames using amplitude-modulated waves depending on the frequency of the acoustic wave and the distance of the flame source from the extinguisher outlet, which is a scientific novelty. The advantages and disadvantages of acoustic technology are also analysed. The paper concludes that low-frequency acoustic waves are favourable for extinguishing flames because they cause more turbulence in the flame, and thus have a higher extinguishing efficiency. The results are promising and acoustic waves may be used to successfully extinguish flames in a wide range of firefighting scenarios in the future.

“…This makes it possible to compensate for the losses resulting from the omnidirectional emission of the acoustic extinguisher, which affect the reducing of the distance to which effective flame extinguishing through acoustic waves has been observed. It is stated that in addition to improving fire-extinguishing methods in firefighting, it is also important to produce fire-resistant materials, which is the focus of many institutions and research centers [ 118 , 119 , 120 , 121 , 122 ]. These materials prevent the fire from spreading, creating a phenomenon that helps extinguish the fire.…”

After the invention of fire, the fight against fire probably started, and it has been going on for thousands of years. During this time, the aim has always been to extinguish the fire as soon as possible and to produce fire-resistant materials. Symmetry plays an important role in reducing problems, as it is a common feature of modern life. Multidimensional signal processing has many applications, an example of which is the use of appropriately timed acoustic waves to extinguish flames. This article provides a brief review of issues related to the use of acoustic waves for flame suppression based on studies in the literature. In addition, measurement results available in the literature obtained using a high-power acoustic extinguisher are discussed as a review of the scientific literature. Furthermore, we provide the latest information on the situation of flame retardants, including the latest innovations in basic sciences. In this sense, from intrinsically fire-resistant materials to flame-retardant additives and nanocomposites, new processes and applications are briefly mentioned.

“…Most existing studies have reviewed the possibilities from a relatively low/narrow perspective, rather than considering a comprehensive view of the technology. Vovchuk et al [17] suggested that sound waves can be used effectively to extinguish fires in petroleum and petroleum products and can be used in future development of robots for fire suppression at construction sites. Pięta et al [18] used a smart Internet of Things (IoT)-based multi-domain model to simulate tourist behavior and congestion avoidance in a theme park.…”

In the global construction industry, government policies have recently focused on smart construction technologies, such as those concerning the “smartization” of construction, improvements of productivity, and automation technologies. In addition, smart construction safety technologies (SCSTs) have been developed to ensure workers’ safety, under the initiative of the private sector. In regards to overseas occupational safety, wearable technologies have been developed for various types of industries, and the integrated platform developments needed to link them have become mainstream. In South Korea, individual companies are focusing on developing basic SCSTs and platforms for integrated control, aiming to prevent accidents in the construction field. The goal of this study was to identify the pros and cons of SCSTs through test bed operation and to derive improvement directions. Therefore, a test bed embedded with SCSTs was built and operated to provide effective safety management for small- and medium-sized sites exposed to fatal accidents. From analyzing the data from the test bed, it was found that it is difficult to change the tendencies of workers’ behaviors based solely on the introduction of SCSTs. This indicates that the effects of SCSTs are insignificant without the cooperation of workers. In addition, technical problems in field application were identified for each sensor and equipment, and the necessity, problems, and effectiveness of SCSTs were analyzed. As a result, both the installation and attachment types were found to be effective; however, workers avoided wearing certain attachment types. Based on the results derived through analysis of the pros and cons of SCSTs, the directions and guidelines were suggested for future use. This result can be used for future technology development directions, and policy establishment. Additionally, for the activation of SCSTs in the field, the cooperation of workers and the interest of managers remain essential factors, and improvements to the equipment are required.
