Abstract

Preventive measures are used to prevent explosive phenomena. In particular, inertization and ventilation procedures are discussed. Despite the adoption of these measures, explosive phenomena may still occur. Therefore, protective measures are necessary to reduce damages. Fire classes are also presented in this chapter.
