9/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesResults from the NIOSH underground dust surveys and current longwall dust control technology and operating practices are discussed.
-
5/10/2019 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing dust collection equivalency testing of a new PDM air inlet against the original cap-mounted inlet design.
-
2/1/2014 - Book chapters, Peer reviewed journal articlesA journal article presenting an analysis of the % of silica in dust samples for the U.S. mining industry collected from 1997 to 2011.
-
5/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study presents geochemical data produced from the analysis of coal and adjacent rock samples retrieved from coal mining regions in the U.S. to examine mineral matter provenance.
-
6/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesResearchers at NIOSH are developing methods for characterizing ultrafine aerosols in workplaces. One method includes the detailed analysis of collected particles using electron microscopy (EM).
-
7/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn this study, NIOSH investigated the effects of adsorption artifact on diesel particulate matter samples from occupational settings.
-
11/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper concludes a five-year program on research into the use of a portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer for analyzing lead in air sampling filters from different industrial environments, including mining, manufacturing and recycling.
-
8/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article examines the spatial variability of dust concentrations within a coal miner’s breathing zone and the impact of sampling location at the cap lamp, nose, and lapel.
-
7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesResults indicate that particle sizes of mine coal dust in intake airways are finer and would require more incombustible matter to be effectively inerted than the 65% incombustible specified in current regulations.
-
1/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe Thermo personal DataRam (pDR) is an instantaneous sampler that uses light-scattering technology to provide relative measures of airborne respirable dust. The pDR can be used in active and passive modes to measure respirable dust levels.
