TOURISM VS. MINING IN PRAID - ROMANIA SALT MINE
Abstract
Praid salt deposit is one of the largest in Europe: the salt body has an elliptic shape, with diameters of 1.2 km and 1.4 km, the depth being extended until 2,700 m. The mining methods employed in time are various: be ll-shaped rooms, trapezoidal rooms. Nowadays, the small rooms and square pillars is employed, the method being described in the paper. At 120 m depth, the cure and treatment facility is located. The underground atmosphere is highly ionized and very eff ective in treating respiratory diseases. The Praid salt mine microclimate, expressed th rough his physical and chemical specific characteristics (air purity, constant humidity and temperature, air stream velocity, ozone content) are generating favourable conditions for saline-therapy, for that reason the treatment facility is intensively required.
