Carbon monoxide in mines can be extremely hazardous to all personnel. MineARC Refuge Chambers are equipped with three different technologies to monitor Carbon Monoxide levels and remove the harmful gas from within occupied refuge chambers to maintain a safe, breathable atmosphere. Series IV Scrubbing System removes Carbon Monoxide from within a refuge chamber.

White damp, or carbon monoxide CO , is a particularly toxic gas; as little as 0.1 percent can cause death within a few minutes. It is a product of the incomplete combustion of carbon and is formed in coal mines chiefly by the oxidation of coal, particularly in those mines where spontaneous combustion occurs.
Carbon monoxide CO is an odorless, colorless gas that can cause illness and death by asphyxiation.

Workers were inside the shuttered mine to dismantle equipment when dangerous levels of carbon monoxide began to seep into the air. Updated at 8:07 a.m. ET Sunday Twenty-three people died following ...
The idea of carbon monoxide detectors goes all the way back to the first days of coal mining, when canaries were often taken down into the mines as an early warning system for harmful gasses such as carbon monoxide and methane. The bird would die before the gas had chance to harmfully effect the miners and signs of distress from the canary would indi e that the miners were not safe. From ...
Carbon monoxide is often used for this purpose with oxide ores because it combines with oxygen from the ore to form carbon dioxide, leaving the metal behind: Metal oxide CO Metal CO 2. Carbon monoxide is a highly toxic gas that has noticeable health effects even in relatively small concentrations. When the concentration of carbon ...
Hi-Cap CO2 and HiCap CO are now commercially available and both demonstrate outstanding contaminant removal performance carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in emergency situations. They been very well received in the mining and shipping markets for use in mine safety refuges and emergency response vessels for ‘citadel’ crew protection.

Coal miners now rely on carbon monoxide detectors and monitors. Canaries were not the only animals which were used to detect the presence of dangerous gases underground - mice were too. But tests conducted by the Bureau of Mines showed canaries were favoured because their reaction to carbon monoxide was more apparent even if small quantities of the gas were present.
