4/18/2013 - Training materials, Videos and multimediaThis is a series of 5 videos explaining how to use the coal dust explosibility meter.
-
Concerns about the present derating factors used for reeled trailing cables prompted researchers at the NIOSH to determine new derating factors for reeled coal mining trailing cables.
-
8/15/2012 - Information CircularsThis IC details a NIOSH investigation on the CDEM’s ability to accurately predict the explosibility of coal and rock dust mixtures. The conclusions support the field use of the CDEM to measure the explosibility of coal and rock dust mixtures.
-
5/1/2012 - Reports of InvestigationsA new test method has been developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and Clean Air Filter (CAF) for quantifying the outside air leakage into environmental cab filtration systems.
-
3/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe CART-based model that is given in this paper can be used to predict methane emission rates and to adjust operation parameters under ventilation constrains in longwall mining.
-
3/1/2012 - Technology NewsThis paper describes an engineering noise control that reduces roof bolting machine (RBM) operators’ exposure to noise in underground coal mines, thereby decreasing the risk of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in RBM operators and nearby workers.
-
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.
-
1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesTo assess the effectiveness of commonly applied ventilation strategies for improving air distribution and ventilation controls to meet statutory requirements.
-
11/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNoncontact electric arc burns are the most common cause of electrical injury in mining according to data for 1990 through 2001. Results from a NIOSH study of arc flash hazards in mining and recommendations to reduce these injuries are presented.
-
10/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study evaluated CO and CO2 emissions from spontaneous heating of a U.S. coal sample in an isothermal oven under different airflow ventilation rates from 100 to 500 cm3/min. Experiments were conducted at oven temperatures of 70, 90, and 100 °C.
