• Description:
  This Bureau of Mines report presents expected levels of air pollutants in the face areas of oil shale mines, based upon data collected by the authors and previous investigators. Ventilation requirements to maintain these pollutant levels below their threshold limit values and federal and local mine air quality standards are discussed. Two practical face ventilation systems are discussed in terms of actual in-mine test experience. [Description provided by NIOSH]
