Toxicity of sediments potentially contaminated by coal mining and natural gas extraction to unionid mussels and commonly tested benthic invertebrates
Sediment toxicity tests were conducted to assess potential effects of contaminants associated with coal mining or natural gas extraction activities in the upper Tennessee River basin and eastern Cumberland River basin in the United States. Test species included two unionid mussels (rainbow mussel, Villosa iris and wavy‐rayed lampmussel, Lampsilis fasciola, 28‐d exposures), and the commonly ...

Methane De-Gassing in a Coal Mine
Aardvark Packers are used in coal mines to enhance operations and safety. They are used to de-gas, vent and direct methane gas away from new mine faces prior to mining to ensure as safe work environment. A typical 4-1/2” diameter hole in the face or in the ribs will be drilled. Sometimes, gel is injected into the borehole to isolate the gas. An Aardvark inflatable packer is inserted into ...
