        abstract = {Mining is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. In some countries, miners working underground don't have social or safety protections and are left to manage on their own if they get injured. This can result in people being displaced and losing their livelihoods. Mining has the highest rate of work-related deaths, with common causes including rock falls, fires, explosions, methane poisoning, and electrocution.
To address these dangers, we have developed a smart helmet using NODE MCU technology. This helmet monitors hazardous gases, abnormal temperature conditions, and humidity levels in the air. The improved safety features of our system help protect coal miners by alerting them to hazards. The helmet is equipped with four sensors that monitor temperature, force, gas, and oxygen levels in the mine. These sensors are integrated with a website that continuously monitors the readings and website has filters to check reading in various ranges. If a hazardous situation arises, the helmet activates alarm to warn the miner and outdoor operators. This allows the miner to leave the mine and have a chance to escape from danger.},
