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.
-
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.
-
6/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article describes the Coal Dust Explosibility Meter (CDEM), a hand-held instrument developed by NIOSH, which uses optical reflectance to measure the explosibility of a rock dust and coal dust mixture, which is now commercially available.
-
9/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis NIOSH paper documents coal miners’ reactions to the new Personal Dust Monitor (PDM), and how they make use of the information th PDM provides.
-
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.
-
7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH's Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) conducted joint research on post-explosion dust samples. The data will aid in future forensic investigations of accidental coal mine dust explosions.
-
2/1/2002 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article summarized results of research conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) at its Pittsburgh Research Laboratory. The objective of this work was to determine the correlation between the mass (M) of respir...
