Mining Safety: Challenges and Prevention, 2nd Edition
This special issue belongs to the section “Earth Sciences“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The mining industry is limited by its work environment. The ventilation of this work environment is poor, and there are many problems that influence the safety and health of miners, such as fire hazard, gas, dust explosion, poor ventilation, etc. Nowadays, the aim of research on mining safety is to use new theories and methods to investigate the mechanisms of mining safety problems, the rule of development, and new technologies.
The Special Issue topics include the analysis of trends around mine safety, the management of mine safety, mine fire, mine ventilation, mine dust, and mine gas, and the big data analysis of mine safety.
