I think that Dust stores huge amounts of energy in its lattice, either chemical or electromagnetic energy. However, in its raw form (and in most processed forms) it is basically stable. It takes the addition of a suggen energy surge, say the firing pin of a gun, a burst of Aural energy or the (surprisingly large) amount of localised air displacement caused by a sneeze to trigger the release of its stored energy.
