2/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe performance of the current regulatory approach was found to be lacking due to the use of a variable property - quartz content in airborne dust - to establish a standard for subsequent exposures.
-
10/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesParticulate exposure from air pollution increases the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality. Although coal miners are highly exposed to coal dust particulate, studies of IHD mortality risk among coal miners have had inconsistent results.
-
12/1/2020 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study comparing dry dust collection with a wet dust collection at one coal mine location.
-
12/1/2020 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article discussing the impact of coal workers’ pneumoconiosis, commonly known as black lung, and a general methodology for controlling respirable dust in underground coal mines.
-
1/1/2015 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA report characterizing exposure histories and respiratory disease among surface coal miners identified with progressive massive fibrosis from a 2010 to 2011 pneumoconiosis survey.
-
2/1/2014 - Book chapters, Peer reviewed journal articlesA journal article presenting an analysis of the % of silica in dust samples for the U.S. mining industry collected from 1997 to 2011.
-
7/1/2013 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study investigating a FTIR method for end-of-shift silica measurement on filter samples that assesses the influence of radial deposition uniformity on the accuracy of the method.
-
7/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe mining industry and labor stakeholders together requested that the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) examine this issue, with the ultimate aim of reducing the rate of pneumoconiosis among U.S. coal miners.

11/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes a study in which a field colorimetric method for extracting and measuring manganese in welding fume was developed.
-
11/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articlesHealth research studies have identified that the risk of developing and the severity of CWP are directly related to the amount of respirable dust exposure and the coal rank. The Pittsburgh Research Laboratory is pursuing more in-depth studies of coal ch...
