To gain some physical insight into how stringent requirements for air quality are now becoming please see attached figure. It begs the question what if they spilled two handfuls or more?
Try as you might to contain it a little stray dust goes a very long way. A handful of dust (about 200 grams) Is all it takes to impart a hazardous illegal level of contamination* to the volume of air contained in over seven R101 airship sheds.
Under more stringent air quality regulations soon to be introduced the volume will equate with twelve R101 airship sheds (about a quarter of the air contained within the whole Waveney Forest between ground level and tree top height).
*National air quality objectives and European Directive limit and target values for the protection of human health. - no more than forty millionths of a gram of dust to each cubic metre of air.
