The Technical and Supply Department—(Continued from page 33)
of Agriculture. In 70 of these explosions 459
persons have been killed (an average of eight)
and in 92 of them 760 have been injured (an
average of over eight). The property loss in
144 cases amounted to more than $33,529,350, an
average of nearly $240,000 for each explosion.
These statistics of losses, of course, do not take
into consideration the interruption of produc-
tion, loss of time and general disturbance of
manufacturing operations as a result of explo-
sions and fires of this character.
"It is now generally recognized that prac-

tically all types of dusts created during manu-
facturing operations are explosive and when
mixed with air in proper proportions can be
readily ignited by various external sources. The
only exceptions would seem to be the inert
dusts, such as shale, limestone, gypsum and the
like.
"Attention has been directed to this problem
in recent years and considerable experimental
work has been done to determine the circum-
stances under which these dust explosions and
fires can originate and to develop effective con-
trol and prevention measures.
"Although the Department of Agriculture
promptly receives reports of dust explosions in
industrial plants in which there are extensive
losses of life and property and as a rule person-
ally investigates these cases, it is quite evident
that many occurrences of this character, on ac-
count of the minor losses, are not properly re-
ported. In some instances delayed reports reach
the Department through indirect sources and
after contacts have been made with State offi-
cials, insurance organizations, operating com-
panies and other agencies directly concerned,
investigation has indicated that the accident was
the result of a dust explosion and fire which had
not been considered as such by the reporting
agency.
"The success that accompanies the develop-
ment of methods of prevention of industrial
plant dust explosions is to a large extent de-
pendent on the development of a plan for prop-
erly reporting this type of industrial accident.
