Styrofoam and static electricity
Styrofoam and static electricity
(OP)
Can styrofoam as a material be used in rooms where particles of initial explosive are floating in air? Can styrofoam cause an explosion in that space because of eventual static electricity in it (in styrofoam) ?

It may be fine in 'damp' conditions but get it somewhere hot - like say Saudi Arabia - and you can get a considerable amount of static.
