Methane gas, one of the underground mine atmosphere, is the main hazard for the workers in this field. The risk of occurrence of an explosive atmosphere and the consequences are different from one mine to another, based on the mine type, its configuration, the extracted coal and the probability of the methane and coal dust occurrence. With every prevention measure taken, the potential risk of an explosion cannot be excluded from the firedamp mines, just reduced as much as possible. The controlled researches regard...

Regarding the mining industry, the risk of an explosive atmosphere occurrence and the consequences differ from one mine to another, depending on the configuration of the mine and on the type of the coal extracted. Although preventive measures are taken, the potential risk of explosion cannot be excluded from firedamp mines, but only reduced as much as possible. Therefore, where the possibility of forming these explosive atmospheres exists, the explosion risk assessment is required by developing scenarios that cons...
