3/31/2017 - Research projectsA project to investigate the feasibility of using alternative measurement approaches to quantify both elemental carbon and organic carbon in filter samples of mine air.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to develop and implement effective interventions to control diesel particulate matter, dust, and other respirable contaminants generated and liberated in the metal/nonmetal mining industry.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to reduce exposures of underground miners to diesel particulate matter and gases through implementation of control technologies and understanding of the risks associated with exposure to diesel engine emissions.
-
3/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article that describes a series of laboratory tests conducted to assess the effects of Fe-containing fuel additives on aerosols emitted by a diesel engine retrofitted with a sintered metal filter (SMF) system.
-
3/31/2015 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to develop a monitor that can measure diesel particulate matter (DPM) in real time for at least a month and provide information on the mine-wide DPM concentrations to a central control station located on the surface.
-
3/1/2015 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing an investigation of the relationship between total carbon and elemental carbon from diesel particulate matter samples to determine if a single conversion factor can be used for all metal/nonmetal mines.
-
12/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article presenting a performance evaluation of a wearable, real-time DPM monitor, the Airtec, in several underground metal/nonmetal mines by comparing it to the standard method for determining DPM exposures (NIOSH method 5040).
-
10/11/2014 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to provide miners with real-time alerts to potentially harmful air contaminants if a dangerous threshold of either immediate or timed exposure is detected.
-
2/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing the results of a field test to verify the effectiveness of MERV 16 filters in the enclosed cab filtration systems on a face drill and roof bolting mining machine, which were tested at an underground limestone mine.
-
10/1/2013 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study to compare the effects of particles generated by engine fueled with neat biodiesel and neat petroleum-based diesel.
