choke-dampn.

/ˈtʃəʊkˌdamp/

Etymology: < choke- comb. form + damp n.¹

A miner's term for the carbonic acid gas (or air largely mixed therewith) which accumulates in old workings in coal-pits, and at the bottom of wells, quarries, and caves; after an explosion in a coal-mine, it often rises and mingling with the remaining nitrogen, steam, smoke and dust, constitutes the after-damp, which suffocates the survivors from the deflagration of the fire-damp.
