This handbook was developed to identify available engineering controls that can assist underground and surface metal/nonmetal mining operations in reducing worker exposure to respirable silica dust.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper presents a summary of some of the mine fire research and provides an overview of the next phase of the NIOSH mine fire research program.
-
2/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesTo evaluate how elemental carbon (EC), a surrogate of diesel particulate matter (DPM), predicts DPM, measurements of total carbon (TC) and EC were taken away from potential interferences in four underground metal/nonmetal mines during production.
-
11/1/2004 - Information CircularsThis report analyzes mine fires for all U.S. underground and surface metal/nonmetal mining categories during 1990-2001 by state and six successive 2-year time periods.
-
9/16/2020 - Research projectsA project to develop strategies for identifying and managing geologic features that increase the risk of dynamic failures in underground coal deposits.
-
2/18/2020 - Research projectsA project to develop control interventions to reduce occupational exposure to silica and other respirable dusts in metal/nonmetal mines and mills.
-
1/9/2020 - Research projectsA project to develop durable noise controls that reduce the noise exposure of jumbo drill operators and facilitate the commercialization of the controls to make them available for all miners.
-
8/1/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study examining the differences in chronic health outcomes between coal, uranium, metal, and nonmetal miners.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to deliver practices, methodologies, and strategies to the industry to improve ventilation effectiveness in underground metal/nonmetal (M/NM) operations to increase control of airborne contaminants in deep mines.
-
3/1/2013 - Reports of InvestigationsThis report presents a new concept in perimeter control blasting for underground mine drifting applications focusing on the importance of the buffer holes in a blast design.
