9/28/2012 - News articlesImplementation of dust control technology and improved dust monitoring are effective ways for mine operators to reduce exposures to respirable coal dust. OMSHR is working to assist the industry’s efforts to limit miner exposure to dust.
-
9/28/2012 - News articlesPreventing coal mine explosions requires a suite of control strategies and NIOSH continues to conduct research to develop more effective intervention measures.
-
10/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH conducted a series of large-scale explosion experiments at the Lake Lynn Experimental Mine to investigate the inerting effect of limestone rock dust. Post-explosion dust residue samples were analyzed to infer flame travel.
-
9/1/2010 - Conference papersNIOSH conducted large-scale explosion experiments at the Lake Lynn Experimental Mine to investigate the inerting effect of limestone rock dust. Flame travel was measured using a conventional test and results were compared to a newer method.
-
6/1/2010 - Conference papersThis study examined the potential for coal mine roof bolter dust to be a source of a worker's exposure to respirable quartz.
-
1/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis research evaluated the quality of dust dispersion in the Siwek 20-L chamber using Pittsburgh coal, Gilsonite, and purple K dusts.
-
12/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis investigation tested the feasibility of enhancing existing engineering dust controls by mounting a simple barrier on a longwall shearer that separated the operators from the cutting drums.
-
9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study investigates how limestone rock dust prevents the propagation of coal dust explosions by assessing its changes in chemical composition.
-
5/1/2009 - Conference papersThis study shows a very good agreement between observations of partially burnt coal particles under a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and floor dust samples, collected and analyzed using the alcohol coking test and SEM, to estimate flame travel.
-
8/18/2008 - Videos and multimedia'Faces of Black Lung' features two miners who share their stories and provide insight on how their lives have changed due to this devastating black lung disease.
