Abstract Tests to determine the explosibility of metaldehyde and preparations containing it are described. The following results are given: ignition temperatures of metaldehyde (11°C) and of metaldehyde powder at a humidity of 50% (25°C); lower explosibility limits of the airborne dust (dry metaldehyde, 28.5g/m3; metaldehyde at a humidity of 50%, 33.2g/m3, granules containing 5% metaldehyde, 44.5g/m3).
