Abstract

Burns due to explosions of various types of inflammable dust have been reported, including coal dust, flour and grain dust. A 33-year-old worker was burned over 33 per cent of his body surface area in a sawdust explosion. Recovery was uneventful. This is the first reported case due to this mechanism as far as we have been able to ascertain.
