UNIT IV

1. Compare and contrast the types of prevention and detection systems used for explosions. Why would it be more difficult to design controls for a room containing explosive materials than a room containing only flammable liquids?

2. Discuss the unique properties of combustible dusts. What are some prevention and suppression controls that can be used for areas containing combustible dusts? What methods would you use to identify areas where combustible dust is present?
