Controlling exposure to diesel emissions in underground mines /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

The use of diesel-powered equipment in underground mining operations provides many benefits to the industry. It also presents many challenges to the health and safety of workers as it is a significant source of submicrometer aerosols and noxious gases. This book was developed to assist the coal and...
