The 2004 Symposium brought together practitioners involved in the planning and operation of underground ventilation systems, provided a forum for the exchange of ideas, and focused on the advances and problems in the field of mine ventilation. The Mine Ventilation Symposium series has always been a premier forum for experts to exchange knowledge. The 2004 symposium was no different with over 60 technical papers selected for this book in topics such as: mine fires and explosions; case studies; diesel in underground mines; face ventilation; ventilation systems design; strata gas and control; ventilation and control systems; modeling and software development; dust generation, transport and control.
