Narrative

Anomalous gas readings indicated the presence of methane and carbon monoxide behind new seals installed in the west mains of the mine. It was found by MSHA that the glue used to couple the seal gas testing tubes emitted fumes which the detectors read as methane and carbon monoxide. Air samples were pumped from behind the seals and results indicated no methane or carbon monoxide
