The article analyzes the current state of production and application of explosive materials in various sectors of the national economy. On the basis of many years of experience in the use of different composition of explosive materials in Russia and abroad outlined ways to significantly increase the efficiency and safety of their use in various mining and geological conditions.
Ensuring reliable and rhythmic operation of mineral quarries is currently hampered by environmental safety requirements. The main sources of air pollution in quarries are internal combustion engines of loading and unloading equipment, rock explosions and accidents. Explosions result in emissions of solid-phase contaminants in the form of dust and gaseous toxic chemical compounds, internal combustion engines only emit gaseous.
The basis for the work presented is the Resolution of the Interdepartmental Council on Explosives № 3 dated 10.12.99. A number of leading specialists of the country in the field of development, production and use of explosives (explosives) were involved in the preparation of materials.
