[@FNHaole]

The way textiles are stored (rolls with gaps of air) can generate an airflow dynamic akin to a jet or rocket engine. That blasting effect will be directed horizontally or vertically, depending on the rolls’ orientation. Cotton’s bad enough. Just imagine the synthetics’ combustion heat and the toxicity of its smoke.
