8/1/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study using 20-L explosion chamber testing to examine the relationship between the explosion inerting effectiveness of rock dusts on coal dusts, as a function of the specific surface area of each component.
-
1/1/2018An article presenting a study on the potential of open-air water sprays to reduce concentrations of airborne float coal dust, smaller than 75 µm in diameter, in longwall face airstreams.
-
9/1/2017 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article detailing field characterization studies performed by NIOSH to determine quantitatively the sources, types and amounts of dust produced during various coal mining processes.
-
8/1/2017 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn this study, a personal dust sampler was adapted for area sampling of coarse coal dust in high-velocity ventilation air and then tested alongside other dust samplers.
-
6/5/2017 - Research projectsA project to maintain a Coal Workers’ Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP) designed to identify the incidence and progression of coal workers’ pneumoconiosis in all coal miners.
-
12/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article by NIOSH discusses a prototype flooded-bed scrubber that was evaluated for float coal dust control in the return of a continuous miner section.
-
11/22/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to develop wireless sensor technology, using functional prototypes, that can continuously monitor the ratio of rock dust to coal dust throughout an underground coal mine.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to reduce respirable silica dust exposure in surface mines through improved understanding of dust generation and transport, improvement of current control technologies, and development of new control technologies.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to eliminate coal dust explosions in underground coal mines.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA 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.
