Abstract

The paper presents data on the explosion hazard of methane under different conditions, taking into account the change in its concentration. The main emphasis is on the analysis of methane ignition conditions during drilling and blasting operations. Methods for determining the amount of methane released into the atmosphere during these works are analysed, as well as other factors that determine the conditions for the formation of hazardous situations and negative environmental (climatic) consequences. In addition, the mechanism of coal ignition during methane combustion is analysed. The most dangerous concentrations of oxygen and methane are revealed. Key trends in reducing gas emissions and determining their amount are identified. Measures in the field of environmental protection and integrated development of the Earth's subsoil are proposed.
