From the Paper:

"According to the US department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics slightly over 200,000 men and women are employed in the mining industry in the US, of those about 75,000 are direct workers, who at times work underground or in closed environments, depending on the industry. These closed environments including underground environments often contain toxic gasses both natural and man made that can affect health and well being and tragically this is just a single dangerous aspect of their work that requires significant attention be paid to it on a moment by moment level."
