Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book traces the development and implementation of permissible explosives within the coal mines of Illinois. The author, an expert in mining safety, analyzes how the introduction of these 'short-flame' explosives, primarily used between 1908 and 1915, dramatically improved safety standards within the state's mining industry. The book explores the devastating impact of traditional explosives, namely their tendency to ignite coal dust and methane gas, the efforts made to decrease the risks associated with their use, and the development of 'permissible' explosives to reduce the incidence of explosions. The author goes into detail about the advantages and disadvantages of permissible explosives, and their impact on the miners' work, and the overall safety of coal mining in Illinois. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
