6/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper discusses factors that could result in a potential undetected dust explosion hazard, when using current dust sampling procedures, in an area that otherwise appears to be adequately protected with rock dust.
-
2/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper provides a brief historical overview of full-scale mine explosion research conducted primarily at the USBM, now the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
-
2/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper describes lab experiments to examine the effect of spray type, pressure, machine body blocking sprays, and scrubber airflow on dust and gas levels while using a 12.2 m (40 ft) exhaust ventilation curtain setback from the face.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersNIOSH has investigated several areas in which current practices may need to be updated to adequately protect mines against coal dust propagated explosions. Other closely related issues, such as rock dust testing methods, are also discussed.
-
2/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper presents the results to date of a NIOSH investigation into the possible causes that would account for the observed higher trends in CWP disease progression through review, data analysis, and in-mine surveying.
-
8/1/2006 - Conference papersNIOSH and MSHA conducted a joint survey to determine the range of coal particle sizes found in dust samples collected from intake airways of U.S. coal mines.
-
3/1/1999 - Conference papersEmerging laser technologies are quickly gaining acceptance in the industrial workplace. This NIOSH research provides a scientific basis for developing safety guidelines for optical equipment in the presence of flammable methane gas and coal dust.
-
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.
-
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.
