  • Title: Burn due to a sawdust explosion.
    Author: Still JM, Law EJ, Pickens HC.
    Journal: Burns; 1996 Mar; 22(2):164-5. PubMed ID: 8634131.
    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.
