3/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe CART-based model that is given in this paper can be used to predict methane emission rates and to adjust operation parameters under ventilation constrains in longwall mining.
-
10/1/2011 - Guides and manuals, Reports of InvestigationsA comprehensive guide to establish a program to curtail diesel particulate matter emissions, control pollutants after release in an underground mine environment and reduce exposures using administrative controls.
-
9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn this paper, the total gas flow rates and methane percentages from 10 GGVs were analyzed. The results showed that the two-hidden layer model predicted total production and the methane content of the GGVs with more than 90% accuracy.

-
4/1/2020 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study examining diesel emissions control strategies based on retrofitting existing power packages with exhaust aftertreatment devices and repowering with advanced power packages.
-
4/1/2020 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study assessing both the relative contributions different types of vehicles make to diesel aerosol concentrations and the effectiveness of control strategies and technologies.
-
3/6/2018 - Research projectsA project to advance the assessment and monitoring of exposure respirable aerosols by developing timely, accurate, and site-specific monitoring technologies and strategies to apply to problems associated with exposure to these mining aerosols.
-
4/29/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to identify possible electromagnetic interference requirements for coal mining equipment to ensure proper operation of equipment used in mines with a view towards maximizing mine safety.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersThe Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL) of NIOSH conducts research to evaluate control technologies and monitoring instrumentation that can be used to reduce the diesel particulate matter (DPM) exposure of mine workers.
