Monitoring of Gases from Explosives Detonated in an Underground Mine.

PB83191718

Publication Date	1982
Personal Author	Garcia, M. M.; Jucevic, E. P.; Kittrell, W. C.
Page Count	86
Abstract	The concentration of six different gases produced by the detonation of four explosives was measured in a dry underground metal mine during actual mining operations. The four explosives included one semigelatin dynamite, one gelatin dynamite and two water gel explosives. A standard drill pattern was used to detonate the explosives as a full-face round in the drift.
