10/1/2004 - Conference papersThe NIOSH mining research program at the Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL) includes the areas of coal mine dust control and monitoring, and explosion prevention.
-
5/1/2004 - Conference papersDescribes a computer program developed by NIOSH for estimating the air quantity needed to dilute diesel particulate matter in underground large opening mines.
-
10/1/2002 - Conference papersAs part of the Diesel Emissions Evaluation Program (DEEP) consortium, Noranda Inc. has undertaken a field project to evaluate the overall performance of the latest diesel particulate filter technology (DPF) at its Brunswick Mine in Bathurst, New Brunswick.

2/1/2002 - Conference papersNIOSH conducted a strategic planning effort to identify those areas in mining with the greatest research needs. In response, the Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL) has implemented a multi-faceted research program to improve silica dust control for the...
-
2/1/2002 - Conference papersThe ultimate goal of this research is to develop control technologies to reduce worker exposure to respirable silica dust. Dust surveys were conducted in an underground limestone and gold mine to investigate silica dust sources, generation levels, and ...

2/1/2002 - Conference papersThis paper examines methods for limiting occupational silica exposures for roof bolting personnel in underground coal mining. It also evaluates a metal rake, a flexible insert, and a rigid insert for cleaning the roof bolter dust collector box.
-
2/1/2002 - Conference papersThis report discusses a cooperative research study performed on a surface drill retrofitted with a new pressurization and filtration system. Respirable dust concentrations were substantially reduced from 0.64 mg/m3 during pre-testing to 0.05 mg/m3 duri...
-
2/1/2002 - Conference papersDiscusses current NIOSH research to improve mine ventilation and mine air quality, particularly for large opening mines.
-
9/1/2001 - Conference papersThis report focuses on two areas of research to lower miners' exposure to respirable dust at surface operations. These areas deal with enclosed cabs methods to lower dust levels at surface drills.
