A little more web searching yielded the following:
"The current standard fuel bar, Trioxane, produces
noxious and potentially hazardous fumes that restrict its overall
usefulness. Trioxane consists primarily of the chemical
metaformaldehyde, and formaldehyde has been recently identified by
OSHA, NIOSH, and ACGIH as a suspected carcinogen. While the current fuel
bar is relatively light in weight and burns without
smoke, there are a variety of fuels based on ethyl alcohol, methyl
alcohol, and diethylene glycol that provide the same function but
are nonhazardous. "
This is from a US Army request to develop alternative technologies.
grace & peace,
