[]Coal Mine Ventilation Efficiency Hairfield Stinnette
attributed to the operation of mine ventilation fans, maintaining an efficient ventilation system is a critical pro-active way for mining companies to reduce power costs. A common way to measure a mine's ventilation system efficiency is to calculate the volumetric efficiency, which is simply a calculation of the percentage of total mine air

Ventilation in underground mines and tunnels WorkSafe
In closed environments like mines and tunnels, ventilation is crucial to maintain sufficient quantities of oxygen and keep air free of dust, toxic gases and vapours. We have produced guidance that outlines the ventilation needed for different types of mining and tunnelling operations.

Respirable coal mine dust is a hazard in underground and surface coal mines and in coal-processing facilities. It is a mixed dust, consisting mostly of coal, but can also include silica, clay, limestone and other mineral dusts. The composition of coal mine dust varies with the coal seam, the composition of the surrounding strata and mining methods.
