6/1/2010 - Conference papersNIOSH has developed a portable elemental carbon monitoring device for use in underground mines. This paper discusses a variety of ways that this instrument has been used to help lower DPM concentrations and exposure to DPM in active mines.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersThe paper discusses how the Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) monitors have performed within the underground mine environment in evaluating DPM during the various phases of longwall moves.
-
7/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper will review current and historic work practices used internationally to minimize the hazard to miners from mining in conditions which could produce a bump.
-
10/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper describes research into a laser absorption technique that enables one to measure elemental carbon concentration in diesel particulate matter in near real time.
-
6/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper presents an overview of ongoing studies, a progress report of results, and the implications for reducing worker noise exposures and preventing noise-induced hearing loss in longwall mining workers.
-
5/1/2004 - Conference papersThis study describes how response times of machine-mounted methane monitors were measured by placing the methane sensor heads in a specially designed box where they were exposed to an atmosphere containing a constant concentration of methane.
-
5/1/2004 - Conference papersSeveral remote sensing technologies are being evaluated as tools to assess slope stability and monitor slopes for hazards. An interferometric radar device capable of detecting very small displacements on slopes has been assembled and tested.
-
2/1/2004 - Conference papersA general overview of the blasting and CO monitoring of a highway construction project is presented and discussed. The use and effectiveness of residential type CO monitors and multi-gas monitors are discussed.
-
9/1/2003 - Conference papersA system to collect seismic data at the Stillwater and East Boulder mines was developed to get baseline information on the magnitude and location of mining-induced seismicity to determine if the mines needed multi-channel in-mine monitoring systems.
-
10/1/2002 - Conference papersReport on the development and field testing of a solar powered, remote gob gas venthole monitoring and cellular telephone-based real-time data transmission system.
