3/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study describes the development of an expert classification system used as a decision tool which can be used for degasification system selection using site- and mine-specific conditions.
-
1/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH researchers studied U.S. underground coal mine explosions over a 30-year period to identify the ignition sources and locations responsible for severe explosions resulting in death, and provided recommendations for safer electrical design.
-
12/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses methods of preventing CO migration, lessening migrated CO, and detecting CO in underground enclosed spaces and may help reduce exposure of area residents to CO and help prevent unnecessary regulations and blasting limitations.
-
12/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses ergonomic interventions that were successfully implemented at the Unimin Gleason, Tennessee operation using a participatory approach to reducing the risk of injury.
-
12/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis report examines the development of modern pumpable roof support technology and provides a full description of the performance capabilities of each of the support products now on the market.
-
11/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study was conducted to model effects of coal properties on the potential for spontaneous heating in longwall gob (mined-out) areas.
-
10/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the testing and reliability of results of a NIOSH developed Coal Dust Explosibility Meter (CDEM), a hand-held instrument that uses optical reflectance to measure the explosibility of a rock dust and coal dust mixture.
-
9/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study uses reservoir simulations to illustrate the effects of impermeable faults on the production performance of vertical and horizontal degasification boreholes.
-
8/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesTo provide insights for the optimization of bleederless ventilation systems for U.S. underground coal mines, a computational fluid dynamics study was conducted to model spontaneous heating in longwall gob areas using a bleederless ventilation system.
-
7/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper updates an earlier report by the authors that studied electrical injuries from 1992 to 1998. The previous information is expanded and supplemented with fatal and nonfatal injury rates and trends through 2002.
