• Technology News 485 - Improved Cab Air Inlet Location Reduces Dust Levels and Air Filter Loading Rates
  2/1/2001 - Technology News
  Higher efficiency air filters provide good dust control for the equipment operator, but tend to accumulate dust more quickly than lower efficiency air filters.
• Experimental Mine and Laboratory Dust Explosion Research at NIOSH
  5/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Explosion characteristics such as the minimum explosible concentration and the rock dust inerting requirements were measured for various combustible dusts. The explosion resistance characteristics of seals was also evaluated.
• Overview of Dust Explosibility Characteristics
  5/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Provides information on the explosibility and ignitability properties of dust clouds that can be used to improve safety in industries that generate, process, use, or transport combustible dusts.
• Technology News 430 - Translucent Face Partition Reduces Longwall Worker's Dust Exposure
  3/1/1994 - Technology News
  The USBM's current approach to air splitting consists of using a polyester mesh partition to overcome the visibility problems of a solid barrier.
• Rapid (Grab) Sampling During Full-scale Explosions - Microscopic and Analytical Evaluation
  1/1/1988 - Reports of Investigations
  The Bureau of Mines has developed a system using a high-speed electropneumatic mechanism for the rapid (grab) sampling of dusts and gases during an explosion to monitor pyrolysis-charring in coal particles and combustion of pyrolysis vapors.
• Methane and Dust Control by Water Infusion: Pittsburgh Coalbed (Fairview, W. Va.)
  1/1/1972 - Reports of Investigations
  The effect of water infusion on the flow of methane and on the production of dust was investigated at an active face in the Pittsburgh coalbed. The average total flow of methane at the face decreased by approximately 79 percent, whereas the flow from th...
