I have been stetting up my new shop over the past few months and have
researched dust collection on the net and by reading a few books on the
subject. This morning I found this article on the Wood Whisperer site.

It basically states that there is almost no chance of a fire/explosion from
using ungrounded PVC ducts with your dust collector.

That was written several years ago by my friend Rod Cole, formerly of
the Badger Pond woodworking forum (now defunct). He is (or
was--haven't heard from him in a while) an engineer at MIT. I've long
considered this the definitive work on home shop DC systems and PVC
piping.
