In this paper a development of miniature size low power integrated sensor board for the real-time environment underground mine monitoring system is presented. Advance sensor technology has introduced high sensitivity and small size, low power sensors. At the time of mining operations, it must be required to monitor noxious/explosive gases. The whole mine environment is affected due to release or produce of those gases. If, concentration level of noxious or explosive gases exceeds the safe limit, it suddenly creates an unsafe situation. To avoid this situation continuous real-time environment monitoring is mandatory today.
