2/18/2020 - Research projectsA project to provide a real-time method for determining the size and location of an underground mine fire, and the spread of smoke and toxic gases throughout the mine ventilation network, using data from atmospheric monitoring systems (AMS) and MFIRE 3.0.
-
4/23/2019 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing NIOSH's work developing a test apparatus for a smart monitoring and control system for mine air quality.
-
4/1/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articlesResults from a survey conducted to determine the number of atmospheric monitoring systems (AMS) used in underground coal mines in the United States, as well as an examination of how regulation changes have impacted CO sensor use.
-
3/6/2018 - Research projectsA project to advance the assessment and monitoring of exposure respirable aerosols by developing timely, accurate, and site-specific monitoring technologies and strategies to apply to problems associated with exposure to these mining aerosols.
