If a small amount of coal remains in the mill after it is shut down, it slowly increases in temperature. If the pulverized coal undergoes spontaneous heating and the coal mill is restarted with hot embers present, an explosion or fire is possible.

NFPA Annex K.5 Coal Firing General Considerations states: "It takes as little as 1.4 kg of pulverised coal in 28.3 m3 of air to form an explosive mixture. Since a large boiler burns 45.4 kg/sec of coal, the safe burning of pulverised coal ...

For instance, factories are encouraged to improve their ventilation and install a dust extraction system. A major part of this is using a HEPA vacuum to efficiently clean up 99.8% of the combustible dust.
