Show Notes

Guy Colonna, NFPA’s division manager of Industrial and Chemical Engineering, sits down with Jesse Roman to discuss dust and current cultural events that are bringing the two together. After an explosion at a dance party in Taiwan that resulted in over 10 deaths, public safety officials of events like “color runs” are looking into the dangers that can come with any dust. Guy gives a great overview of dust in general and the dangers of it. Later, Guy talks about the resources offered to public safety officials and organizers alike to keep everyone safe and sound.
