Definition
A poisonous mixture of gases, primarily carbon dioxide and nitrogen, found in mines after explosions or in poorly ventilated areas.
Etymology
Compound of 'black' and 'damp' (from Old German 'dampf', meaning vapor). 'Damp' in mining refers to dangerous gases.
Kelly Says
Miners used to bring canaries and mice into mines because these animals were sensitive to blackdamp—when the animal collapsed, miners knew deadly gases had reached dangerous levels and had to evacuate immediately.
