The largest mining companies in Macedonia in collaboration with Goce Delcev University and MOSHA, launched a campaign to measure the exposure of miners to CO and NO2 while working in underground metallic mines. The aim of this campaign is to provide exposure data for risk assessment and to develop an effective assessment program. This study took place in two mines, where the subjects were groups of workers that were involved in the operataion of diesel powered equipment and blasting during a full shift of 8 hours of exposure. In each mine, two groups were assessed: workers in both production and development/service areas. Average exposures differentiate between groups and working positions, indicating diesel powered equipment as the main source of pollution. Ventilation efficiency played a significant role in the overall exposure levels, which is elearly indicated for all working positions in the development group primarily operating under local exhaust ventilation systems.
