reacts with oxygen in a series of small steps within our cells that produce carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy.
2. Finely divided wood dust will not only burn but explode.
3. OSHA issues and enforces rules called standards to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
4. When a substance is divided
into smaller and smaller particles,
even though the total amount of
the substance remains constant,
the number of particles increases,
and so does the total surface area
that is available to react chemically.
5. More than 200 dust fires and explosions have occurred in U.S.
industrial facilities during the past 25 years.]]> 2018-02-20 18:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sreynolds201/ocg808ic9m7q/wish/233440437 sreynolds201 https://padlet.com/sreynolds201/ocg808ic9m7q/wish/234056348 He wrote the article because he wanted people to know that dust, under the right circumstances, can be dangerous, and can lead to explosions.]]> 2018-02-22 01:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sreynolds201/ocg808ic9m7q/wish/234056348 sreynolds201 https://padlet.com/sreynolds201/ocg808ic9m7q/wish/234057446 1. Where and how did the explosions start?
2. Did OSHA actually propose new standards related to dust?
3. How many people work at the sugar plant?
4. What is the most explosive type of dust?
5. How long did it take to rebuild the sugar plant?]]> 2018-02-22 01:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sreynolds201/ocg808ic9m7q/wish/234057446 sreynolds201 https://padlet.com/sreynolds201/ocg808ic9m7q/wish/234058672 1. Where and how did the explosions start?
The plant had old, outdated equipment. The equipment wasn't maintained well. The primary explosion occurred inside a sugar conveyor under two sugar storage silos that had build up a lot of sugar dust. This started a number of other dust explosions.

3. How many people work at the sugar plant?
At the time of the explosion, roughly 350 employees were employed by Imperial Sugar Company. The workers helped clear debris, repaint buildings, and clean equipment after the explosions.

5. How long did it take to rebuild the sugar plant?
It took 21 months to reopen the plant. The fire happened on Feb 7, 2008. It had its grand reopening on Nov 7, 2009. ]]> 2018-02-22 02:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sreynolds201/ocg808ic9m7q/wish/234058672 sreynolds201 https://padlet.com/sreynolds201/ocg808ic9m7q/wish/234059330 The major science concept is that small dust particles can be very combustible, leading to explosions.]]> 2018-02-22 02:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sreynolds201/ocg808ic9m7q/wish/234059330 sreynolds201 https://padlet.com/sreynolds201/ocg808ic9m7q/wish/234060154 Question #1 Source:   Reuters.com by Matthew Bigg
