• Effects of Diesel Exhaust Aftertreatment Devices on Concentrations and Size Distribution of Aerosols in Underground Mine Air
  9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper summarizes the results of a study conducted to evaluate the effects that several types of DPFs, DFEs, and a DOC have on the concentration and size distribution of diesel aerosols in an underground mine.
• Effectiveness of Selected Diesel Particulate Matter Control Technologies for Underground Mining Applications: Isolated Zone Study, 2004
  8/1/2006 - Reports of Investigations
  This study evaluated the effectiveness of the state-of-the-art technologies for controlling DPM and gaseous emissions from underground diesel-powered mining equipment using the isolated zone approach.
• Evaluation of the SKC® DPM Cassette for Monitoring Diesel Particulate Matter in Coal Mines
  12/1/2004 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A commercial version of the BOM impactor, called the DPM Cassette, was recently introduced by SKC®. Tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of the DPM Cassette for measuring diesel-source elemental carbon in the presence of coal dust.

  3/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An 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.
• Effects of a diesel particulate filter regeneration process on aerosols in an underground mine
  12/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration process on the concentrations and size distributions of aerosols in an underground mine.
• The Effects of Passive Diesel Particulate Filters on Diesel Particulate Matter Concentrations in Two Underground Metal/Nonmetal Mines
  6/1/2010 - Conference papers
  In this study, NIOSH measured the atmospheric concentrations of DPM and gases in two mines in order to evaluate the effects of various control strategies on the atmospheric DPM concentrations.
• Mutagenicity of Diesel Exhaust Particles from an Engine with Differing Exhaust After Treatments
  1/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper discusses the results of a study to investigate the effects of engine operating conditions and exhaust aftertreatments on the mutagenicity of diesel particulate matter (DPM) collected directly in an underground mine environment.
• Field Evaluation of a Passive Diesel Particulate Filter at a Limestone Mine
  4/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  In this study, the operators of a limestone mine retrofitted a loader used for clean-up operations with a passive DPF that was lightly catalyzed and used a fuel additive to initiate regeneration at low exhaust temperatures.
