Studies of total harmful gas flows on the ground surface from spontaneous mine fires in Kuzbass

Review of global trends in meeting the ecological challenges of the mining industry. Part II: Field tests and lab-scale analytical research in Russia

“…In the Kemerovo Region, there are many events of spontaneous coal combustion on the surface of coal waste dumps. It is proposed to undertake statistical recording of gas emission from operating machines, in blasting and from stationary sources, as well as emission of gases generated in spontaneous combustion of waste coal at dumps [35]. In Kuzbass, towns and open pit coal mines are situated close to each other.…”
