Transport of Aerosols in Underground Mine Workings in Terms of SARS-CoV-2 Virus Threat

Transport of Aerosols in Underground Mine Workings in Terms of SARS-CoV-2 Virus Threat

This paper presents a method of implementation and the results of aerosol dispersion tests in underground mine workings. Numerous tests were carried out to determine the potential risk of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection in the underground environment of the mines. The influence of selected paramete...
