http://www.gwm-tv.com - Charcoal is no longer listed as a dangerous cargo for road transportation in Brazil, following a scientific study on the burning point of charcoal.
The reclassification came as a result of the tests, carried out by the Cientec laboratories, that showed that the incendiary point of charcoal - largely made from farmed eucalyptus - is 450 degrees centigrade. It also dispelled the myth that charcoal can spontaneously combust when subjected to certain conditions, such as being stacked or pressed.
The study was regulated by The National Land Transport Association, which has said that it is applicable for the transportation of charcoal across all Brazilian states.
