However, recently in GHG Emissions Inventory for South Africa a country-specific CO 2 Emission Factor for coal mining in underground mines was proposed. To our knowledge, in Brazil there are no studies on the composition of ambient air in the ventilation systems of these mines, which precludes an accurate assessment of risks and GHG emissions.

A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range. Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect on planets. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor (H 2 O), carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4), nitrous oxide (N 2 O), and ozone (O 3).Without greenhouse gases, the average temperature of …
