Learning objectives

Propose tools to allow a multi-level approach to the problem:

  • Characterize dust (physical and chemical) to assess risk, diagnostic methods that can be used to characterize dust.

  • Characterize the surrounding dust environment, assess the possibility of cloud generation and identify potential sources of initiation.

  • Describe the explosion and evaluate the overpressure effects on structures by using models.

  • The expert's approach in the analysis of accidental risks associated with dust explosions.
