IMPLEMENTATION OF SMART PERSONAL RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE DEVICES IN UNDERGROUND MINING OPERATIONS
Keywords:
Underground excavation, personal respiratory protective equipment, smart respirator, infrared sensor, miner, microcontroller, remote monitoring.Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical foundations and practical implementation of smart personal respiratory protective equipment (PRPE) designed for underground mining personnel. The proposed system incorporates advanced environmental sensors, infrared detection modules, microcontroller-based control units, intelligent data-processing algorithms, and wireless remote monitoring technologies. The integration of these components enables continuous real-time monitoring of hazardous atmospheric parameters, automated risk assessment, and adaptive control of respiratory protection functions. The system is intended to enhance occupational safety, improve emergency responsiveness, and optimize operational reliability in underground mining conditions characterized by elevated dust concentration, toxic gases, and limited ventilation.
