Thanks for the update. I've been using the Chemical Safety Board's data from their Combustible Dust Study completed in 2006 and I don't see the Texas Instruments incident listed in the [url="http://www.csb.gov/completed_investigations/docs/DustIncidentDataFileFinal.xls"]spreadsheet of incidents[/url] that they recorded from 1980-2005.

Thanks for the feedback.I'll add that to the list and follow-up on the specifics.

Hi, I'm new to the forum and would like to introduce myself. Since the Imperial Sugar Refinery combustible dust explosion I have been tracking combustible dust related fires and explosions in the United States.

With limited resources on a Google search I'm attempting to document combustilbe dust related incidents. If you have any info concerning incidents could you please contact me so I can add the details to the Google map.

Currently I'm utilizing data from the [b]Chemical Safety Board Combustible Dust Study [/b]report completed in 2006. Here is a spreadsheet that the investigative team compiled of incidents from 1980-2005. [url="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pAZTkw06Krcz7Z0ULTldTGg&hl=en"]Check it out a[/url]nd if you notice an incident that is not listed, then please feel free to add your input.

Here is a link to the [url="http://dustexplosions.blogspot.com/"]Combustible Dust Explosion and Fire website[/url]

Thanks,

John …

Does anyone know if combustible zinc dusts were a contributing factor to the fire?
