  3/1/2015 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An article describing experiments conducted to quantify and characterize the optical and physical properties of combustion-generated aerosols during both flaming and smoldering combustion of three materials common to underground mines.
• Personal Air Safety System (PASS)
  10/11/2014 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to provide miners with real-time alerts to potentially harmful air contaminants if a dangerous threshold of either immediate or timed exposure is detected.
• Aerosols and Criteria Gases in an Underground Mine That Uses FAME Biodiesel Blends
  10/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A study assessing heavy-duty haulage trucks' contribution to the concentrations of aerosols and criteria gases in underground mine air and the physical properties of those aerosols for three FAME biodiesel blends.
• The Role of Gas Desorption in the Energetic Failure of Coal
  3/4/2014 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to evaluate the role of gas desorbing on the failure of coal and the resultant influence on dynamic failures such as bumps, bursts, and outbursts.

• 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.
• Toward developing a new occupational exposure metric approach for characterization of diesel aerosols
  12/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  In this study, the current exposure metric and two additional metrics, the surface area and the total number concentration, were evaluated by conducting simultaneous measurements of diesel ultrafine aerosols in a laboratory setting.
