In what conditions should explosive items be stored?

The storage of explosive items is critical for safety, stability, and the prevention of accidents. Storing them in a dry, well-ventilated place away from excessive heat is essential because it reduces the risk of unintentional ignition or degradation of the explosive materials. Excessive heat can lead to changes in the chemical composition of explosives, potentially resulting in hazardous situations. Proper ventilation helps dissipate any potentially dangerous vapors or gases that might be released, further ensuring safety.

Other options don't align with best practices for explosive storage. Sealing containers with no ventilation could trap heat and gases, creating an unsafe environment. Storing explosives in any indoor location disregards specific environmental requirements necessary for safety. Using plastic bags may limit ventilation and not effectively prevent moisture, which can be detrimental to the integrity of explosive materials.
