In a roughly 12-month period a decade ago in Pennsylvania and Maryland, four people died and two children required treatment in three separate incidents involving manure storage. The tragedies alerted agriculture extension staff and researchers of an impending threat related to manure. Within months of examining multiple storage facilities, the experts determined the culprit to be manure mixed with gypsum bedding. A cooperative effort between Pennsylvania State University and the State’s agricultural extension department was launched to educate on the dangers of manure storage and how to prevent catastrophe. Ten years later, we look at the positive changes that have been made, and what new information has been gleaned.

Research has found that the risk of flash fires and explosions relates to foam trapping and holding the biogases that are emitted during the anaerobic decomposition of stored manure. If the foam is disrupted, it releases bursts of biogas with methane concentrations of 50 to 70 percent. When mixed with ambient air, the resulting concentration could be in the explosive range of five to 20 percent, thereby increasing the chances of explosion or flash fire when a heater, motor, or light switch is activated, or someone undertakes repair work like welding, the research has said. Hazardous conditions also occur during agitation, pumping and pressure washing.
