But this might be my lack of knowledge of existing processes in "powdery industries" speaking, if those are solved problems there I would not know. Your mention of gasoline evaporating made me realize that some of the iron oxidating is probably not all that bad, just make sure that there's no ventilation continuously swapping in fresh air. I guess I'm looking forward to the next iron age!
