Build-ups of a hazardous gas are known as damps and can be extremely harmful to miners. Here are the different types of damp threats.

	Black damp: a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen in a mine can cause suffocation
	After damp: similar to black damp, an after damp consists of carbon dioxide and nitrogen and forms after a mine explosion
	Fire damp: consists of mostly methane, a flammable gas
	Stink damp: so named for the rotten egg smell of the sulfur, a stink damp can explode
	White damp: mainly carbon monoxide, suffocates like black damp
