It looks like someone got in to the comments part of the article to tell them about the dust explosion hazard.

Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] Photography Shoot Using Powder
I captured some of the photos for the training materials on deflagation issues to add to my pictures of the Taiwan Pool Party, but I don't know how to let these photo people know they are going to seriously injure or kill someone one day. Hot lights, electrical equipment, even a static discharge would set that puff of cornstarch off like a magician's lycopodium.
I keep remembering when a fire extinguisher was accidentally charged with cornstarch baby power instead of talc for a TV shoot and the resulting cloud of starch turned into a fire ball that burned off Burt Reynold's toupee. And it is just luck that's all that burned.
Don't these people read?

Per a comment on the bottom of the website, the powder was reported to be corn starch.
