Grain dust explosions up sharply in 1984 over 1983

Abstract

Twenty grain dust explosions were reported in the U.S. to Ralph Regan, F.G.I.S. Safety Director, and Robert W. Schoeff, Extension Marketing and Safety Specialist, Kansas State University. This was a 53% increase over the 1983 low and equal to the 10 year average of 20 explosions.
