[QUOTE="ChemAir, post: 6051707, member: 643034"] Per wiki: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_combustion[/URL] Microbial action first. Then enough composition change with a reasonable rise in temperature to start a self-sustaining chemical reaction, seems to be the general rule. Specific conditions have to be present, for the reaction to proceed beyond biological. I find the Wiki link and its references mostly unfulfilling. [/QUOTE]
