• Improved Dust Control Methods for Longwall Mining
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A project to develop control technologies that will reduce the most common sources of respirable dust on the longwall face, which will in turn protect the health of mine workers on the longwall face.
• Evaluation of LIDAR as a Novel Remote Dust Sensing Technology
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A project to evaluate the feasibility of using Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR), a remote sensing technology based on laser reflection, as a dust monitoring tool in the mining industry.
• Enhanced Utilization of Personal Dust Monitor Feedback
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A project to test an intervention to help miners use personal dust monitor feedback more effectively to reduce their exposure to respirable coal mine dust.
• Influence of Continuous Mining Arrangements on Respirable Dust Exposures
  3/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This article by NIOSH reports and analyzes dust concentrations measured for remote-controlled continuous mining machine operators as well as haulage operators at 10 U.S. underground mines.
• Using CPDM Dust Data
  2/1/2016 - Non-peer reviewed journal articles
  This trade publication piece by NIOSH reviews discussions with miners learning to use the continuous personal dust monitor, how the information provided by the device may affect behavior, and how to get over the technology learning curve.
