10/1/2004 - Conference papersThe NIOSH mining research program at the Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL) includes the areas of coal mine dust control and monitoring, and explosion prevention.
-
2/1/2002 - Conference papersNIOSH conducted a strategic planning effort to identify those areas in mining with the greatest research needs. In response, the Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL) has implemented a multi-faceted research program to improve silica dust control for the...

2/1/2001 - Conference papersLaboratory test to simulate dust liberation during shield movement were conducted.
-
1/1/2001 - Conference papersThe compliance sampling method for coal mine dust in the United States has not changed appreciably in the last 30 years. A call for more frequent sampling with immediately available results is leading to new instruments that may supplement or replace th...
