The Coal Mine Safety Research program was concerned primarily with two categories of hazards: health-related hazards associated with the mine environment, due to such factors as respirable dust, toxic gases and vapors, and excessive noise; and accidents due to mine fires, explosions, and roof falls. The Explosive Research program continued to explore the safety and performance of conventional mining explosives and blasting devices, as well as the flammability and explosions limits of fuels and hazardous industrial chemicals.
