Objectives:

The purpose of this subject is to present a modern and comprehensive treatment of mine ventilation
from the view point of the total mine atmospheric environment and its control. The three main
topics which will be discussed during the whole semester are Quality Control, Quantity Control
and Temperature-Humidity Control.
