A daunting mine disaster took place in 13 May 2014 at Soma and 301 men lost their lives. Brief information about the Eynez coal mine and some of the inherent characteristics of the field in terms of their effects on mining are presented. This paper basically concentrates on the factors that played an important role in the occurrence of this disaster. Progress of mine fire, firefighting, and res...

Each year millions of people around the world are affected by natural and manmade disasters. The consequences of natural disasters in terms of health are complex. Disasters directly impact the health of the population resulting in physical trauma, acute disease, and emotional trauma. Furthermore, disasters may increase the morbidity and mortality associated with chronic and infectious diseases ...

BACKGROUND Disasters are traumatic events that may result in a wide range of mental and physical health consequences. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is probably the most commonly studied post-disaster psychiatric disorder. This review aimed to systematically assess the evidence about PTSD following exposure to disasters. MethodA systematic search was performed. Eligible studies for this ...

Recent U.S. mine disasters identified a need for improved training of miners in escape from mine fires and explosions. Researchers at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health’s (NIOSH) Spokane Research Labora­ tory (SRL) have designed fire-escape training software for use in a mine-safety training course. The software allows four trainees to work together in a virtual world via...

With increases in the mining depth and area Ordos coal field, failure law of super thick sandstone Zhidan group leads to frequent disasters, such as rock bursts mine earthquakes, which have become a significant issue, restricting large-scale continuous mining. To adequately understand movement mechanism super-thick weakly cemented overburden, promote resources under it, this study analyzes phys...

The surrounding rock of a coal mine roof fractures with the excavation underground working face in mining. These mining-induced are connected and extended upward to form water inrush channels. A accident may occur when there is sufficiently large source. To elucidate formation mechanisms channel characteristics goafs, we performed case study No.18401 Panel Xiqu Coal Mine China determined whethe...

Preparing our hospitals and other healthcare facilities for disasters is a national security priority. Disasters occur nearly every day in the United States, and the frequency is increasing. This includes such diverse events as storms, droughts, wildfires, floods, earthquakes, chemical and industrial accidents, burns, mass shootings and bombings, and epidemics. All sickened or injured people re...

The objective of study was to evaluate the incidence and mortality rates of disasters and mass casualty incidents (MCIs) over the past 10 yr in the administrative system of Korea administrative system and to examine their relationship with population characteristics. This was a population-based cross-sectional study. We calculated the nationwide incidence, as well as the crude mortality and inj...

The gangue filling mining method is used to reduce the occurrence of dynamic disasters on roof a steeply dipping coal seam (SDCS) effectively and improve stability overburden structure. To comprehensively study movement law under different quantities, 3221 working face Lvshuidong mine was taken as research site. vertical displacement, stress, plastic zone quantities were analyzed by using FLAC3...
