Coal is the most suitable fuel in terms of price and efficiency in fossil fuels. With the industrial revolution, coal using steam engines increased and as a result of this, coal demand increased. The need for coal makes coal production increased and so, environmental problems increase because of coal mining. One of these problems is air pollution. Especially Particulate Matter (PM) and Methane (CH4) emissions which occurred in open and underground mining represent major place. In this research, PM and methane emissions situation and precautions in coal mines around the world are explained by making literature review. Also, this research is intended to be resource to other planned studies.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAir pollutionCoal mineMethane gasParticulate matterArticle5612331
