ροκανίδια, ρινίσματα
πρόκειται γενικώς για πολύ μικρά κομμάτια [σχεδόν σε μορφή "σκόνης"] από χαρτί, ξύλω, μέταλλο κλπ τα οποία μπορεί να προκαλέσουν έκρηξη ή πυρκαγιά (όπως π.χ. τα ροκανίδια που μαζεύνοται σε μηχανήματα κοπής ξυλείας).
Ελπίζω να σε βοήθησε αυτό.

we are talking about very small pieces (almost like \"dust\") of paper, wood or metal which may cause explosion or fire by itself

ροκανίδια
Within the context you provide, I believe this is probably the closest word. I am imagining bits of pieces flying into the air as a result of an explosion.

θραύσματα
Πιστεύω ότι αυτός είναι ο όρος που χρησιμοποιείται για εκρήξεις.

: Συνήθως η έκρηξη βλημάτων προκαλεί θραύσματα που εκτοξεύονται με μεγάλες ταχύτητες.

Συνήθως αλλά δεν υπάρχει και σχετικός κανόνας. Your comment is irrelevant
