Explosive dust A solid piece of any given material is normally safe and non explosive. However, creating a fine dust from the very same material could make it combustible; com-pare a solid piece of wood to wood dust! Furthermore the finer the dust particles are the more "explosive" they become! Many industries handle materials that are or can become explosive! When a combustible material is dispersed as a fine dust and combined with air and an ignition source the potential for a dust explosion increases.
