    Since you are close emotionally to this incident Goggle search "dust
    explosion abatement" 

    It is a well known problem. The first question to ask in these events
    is not why but "why not before?" 

    There have been suppression systems available for over 25 years.
    Generally it would not be a problem in a small workshop ( a dust
    filled space can explode) but you should practice dust control for
    lung protection. Dust collection systems can pop inside these
    systems which are usually controlled by grounding and all metal
    systems. Systems using plastic pipe are not highly recommended but
    grounding is effected by running a exposed ground wire inside the
    pipe.
