Blowing versus exhausting face ventilation for respirable-dust control on continuous-mining sections
This paper discusses advantages and disadvantages of blowing and exhausting face ventilation systems. Results of respirable dust surveys conducted on sections employing blowing and exhausting face ventilation indicate that significantly lower respirable dust concentrations in the face area result when employing exhausting face ventilation.
