The post-blast gases (commonly referred to as “fume”) are important for mines to manage from a safety, productivity and regulatory standpoint, particularly in populated areas. Mines are susceptible to fume when sleeping large blasts in soft, weathered and wet sedimentary rock. 

In response to industry demand, Orica has developed a complete Fume Risk Reduction framework that takes a holistic view on the blasting operation to seek and control the many possible causes of fume without affecting productivity. This framework is supported by Orica's range of products and services, including the Clear range of bulk products.
