Coalface is the production site of coal and is the key area in the coal mine safety management and environmental monitoring, which is characterized with small working space, many mechanical equipment, poor visual environment, and high temperature.
to Assess Underground Coal Mine Dust Exposures June 2018 Coal production, like all other conventional mining activities, creates dust in the workplace. Occupational exposure to respirable coal mine dust (RCMD) has long been associated with lung diseases common to the coal mining industry, including coal
Coal, extensively used in many countries across various industries, particularly as a fuel in the energy sector, poses significant environmental challenges due to process-related implications and their complex characteristics. A notable obstacle arises from its heterogeneous and complex submicron–nano-molecular structure, often leading to …
Coal and underground sludge contained more carcinogenic PAHs than mine water. And the main carcinogenic PAHs in coal were BaA, BbF, and InP, and for underground sludge were BbF, CHr, and BaP. Risk quotient (RQ) was used to evaluate the ecological risk of mine drainage, showing that PAHs in mine water were generally at …
