combustible dust is something my neighbour used to do as a kid for fun, with a candle in a cake tin, blowing flour in. he's about 65 now, so it's not a new problem at all.
in terms of non organic things combusting, everyone's seen a piece of magnesium ribbon on fire

I knew about this hazard sence 1984 as a fire equipment technician. I'm a phoneman now and I can tell you I have seen hundreds of plants with dust issues. I have run cable through rafters and in some cases you could write your name in the stuff.

This reminds me of the grain elevator explosion in Westwego, Louisiana in 1978. Dust seems harmless but it's deadly under the right circumstances.
