Dust Explosion Statistics
Dust explosions occur randomly and there is
generally little data available to analyse their cause,
effects and incident rate. A 1989 paper presented by
B Porter at Dust Explosions:Assessment, Prevention
and Protection offers perhaps the best documented
set of dust explosion statistics in the public domain.
The data below is shown in the form of stacked bar
charts and offers insight into the incident
consequences, dust type, sources of ignition leading
to dust explosions and the primary explosion
location.
