POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always, clearly marked. These may be
fueling areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust
or metal powders.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or
fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

not impossible that the radio or its accessories
could generate sparks.
