Thanks Ron,
i was having A senior's moment ant meant flammable or dangerous, not Toxic.
Thank You for answering that for me, when I had first read about it, I was surprised I had not been warned of this potential danger.
Here is the thread that lead to my post here, both are my posts actually, I mean I started them.

Re: Safety concerns for grinding wheels?
Aluminium dust also.has a habit of mixing with iron oxide powder to make.thermite - there have been a few serious accidents where both have been ground on the.same machine and steel sparks have lit the mixture, 3rd degree burns although I haven't heard of.fatalities...
so this paragraph got me concerned as to what is the best way to prevent this from ever happening?
Thanks,
jon
