The primary objective of this report was to control the environment to ensure that dust and methane levels were within the regulating requirements. The mining industry, through the SIMRAC process, assigned the CSIR-Miningtek to test and evaluate ventilation systems to ensure compliance with the new dust standard and the existing methane standard.
