5/1/2017 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article by NIOSH about a study to develop a respirable size-selective sampler for direct-on-filter (DoF) quartz measurement at the end-of-shift (EoS) using a portable Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer.
-
5/1/2017 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article by NIOSH about a study demonstrating the feasibility of end-of-shift measurement of α-quartz using a direct-on-filter (DoF) method to analyze coal mine dust samples deposited onto polyvinyl chloride filters.
-
1/1/2017 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article by NIOSH describes a study in which gold mine dust samples underwent gravimetric analysis, quantification of silica, and characterization via aerodynamic and scanning mobility particle sizers.
-
12/1/2016This article by NIOSH examines the particle characteristics of crystalline silica that enable the process leading to silicosis.
-
5/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article on a new portable instrument describes laboratory testing that demonstrated the instrument’s plausibility for identifying hazardous levels of silicon-containing compounds.
-
3/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article discussing a NIOSH-proposed solution for on-site quantification of respirable crystalline silica in dust samples.
-
2/21/2016 - Conference proceedings, Peer reviewed journal articlesThis publication describes the results from testing a new dry scrubber that's designed to dramatically cut the levels of coal and quartz (silica) dust in underground coal mines.
-
2/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article on the formative data collection and analysis that informed the development of a multilevel intervention to bridge health communication between workers and management to reduce mine worker overexposure to respirable silica dust.
-
1/1/2016 - Non-peer reviewed journal articlesThis trade publication by NIOSH discusses how respirable silica dust complicates the already complex issue of keeping dust levels low in underground coal mines, and how knowing silica dust levels quickly would help mines keep workers safer.
-
7/1/2015 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA report detailing a study investigating the use of diffuse reflection infrared spectronomy to detect end-of-shift airborne quartz exposure.
