  • Analysis of gasometric systems used in underground mining plants
    The article presents gasometric systems that are currently used in Polish underground mining plants. The number of telemetry control panel racks used in individual hard coal mines was analyzed, and detailed lists of sensors and other devices installed in underground workings were presented for several selected mines. Of the wide range of sensors available in hard coal mines, over 95% of those used are only four types (measurement of CH4, CO, air velocity and pressure difference). Attention was paid to the increasing importance of underground stations (control units) in the gasometric systems of modern mines. Selected data from 2023 were compared with analogous data from 12 years ago. Attention was also paid to the ongoing process of unification in the production of sensors by individual companies.

  • Our neighbor the wolf. What is he really like?
    Wolves were one of the most common predators in European forests. The transformation of the environment and human policies have brought these animals to the brink of extinction. Many years of efforts to protect the wolf have improved the situation somewhat. Today, there are approximately 2,000 individuals living in Poland. However, due to the increasing density of human development, the wolf, whether it likes it or not, is increasingly a neighbor of humans. Wolves, like other large predators in Poland, have much less space to live due to human activity. We take away their territory and are surprised that they appear more and more often near our settlements.
