Scope

IN underground mines, excess humidity, high temperatures, inadequate oxygen, and excessive concentrations of dangerous gases can lower worker productivity and can cause illness and death. Air cooling and ventilation are needed in deep underground mines to minimize heat stress and remove contaminants. As mines become deeper, heat removal and ventilation problems become more difficult and costly to solve.
