    Zdalne pomiary temperatury w ocenie aktywności termicznej składowisk odpadów węglowych
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2011) Wasilewski, Stanisław; Choroba, Tomasz
    Landfills mines fit firmly in the landscape of the mining areas. The presence of carbon in the landfills, along with other substances, often leads to a fire hazard. The variety of factors that affect the spontaneous combustion and fires dump makes the protection of objects containing the waste coal a much more complicated task. An extremely important role in the prevention of fire dump plays particular attention to the regular monitoring and observation of the thermal and gases. Traditional techniques for monitoring the use of thermocouples and thermometers, which allow the measurement of temperature from point to point, so they are expensive and time consuming. Infrared thermography, compared against more traditional methods, has greater range and higher precision results. The article presents the possibility of using a thermo-graphic image taken from the plane to the detection of warm up on the surface of coal waste dumps in Silesia.
