Reducing emissions of hazardous pollutants that have a negative impact on the environment and human health has been approved as one of the strategic objectives of Russia's development. More than 90% of minerals in mined using blast energy. Despite an increase in the share of non-explosive component mixtures used in mining, blasting still poses a hazard to miners as the gaseous detonation products are potentially dangerous. The composition of blast gaseous products is extremely important in underground blasting because air exchange is difficult under these conditions and the blast products can contaminate the atmosphere of underground excavations, causing illness or poisoning of miners. Currently, there are no uniform requirements for obtaining information on the amount of gaseous blast products that would be hazardous to the human organism. Available documents do not contain information on the permissible amounts of toxic oxides per 1 kg of explosive detonated. The article compares the results of studying gas toxic hazard of industrial explosives obtained by different methods and based on different criteria.
