High oxygen environment and almost anything in a powder is extremely explosive including plastic and for that matter baking soda. Some things that aren't even flammable are potentially explosive when powdered, science is weird sometimes.
Plastic yes, baking soda no. What part of baking soda would burn? The molecule is already about as oxidized as it could be.
Shit you're right I meant flour.
Ah yes, flour can definitely explode if aerosolized.
