  6/1/2008 - Conference papers
  This paper describes the results of a NIOSH borehole monitoring experiment (BME) on an active longwall panel.
• Computer Simulation of Ground Behaviour and Rock Bolt Interaction at Emerald Mine
  8/1/2004 - Conference papers
  This paper focuses on a computer simulation used to model roof behavior and rock bolt interaction in a collaborative study of ground behavior, reinforcement performance, and stress redistribution in a coal mine entry under severe horizontal stress.
• Direct-on-filter Analysis for Respirable Crystalline Silica Using a Portable FTIR Instrument
  1/1/2022 - Information Circulars
  This report details how to implement field-based monitoring for respirable crystalline silica using portable Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
• A Novel Sampling Cassette for Field-based Analysis of Respirable Crystalline Silica
  3/1/2021 - Peer reviewed journal articles

• Field Assessment of Enclosed Cab Filtration System Performance Using Particle Counting Measurements
  9/1/2013 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This article describes a study where a two-instrument particle counting method was used to examine a new cab filtration system design for underground industrial minerals equipment.
• Self-Contained Self-Rescuer Long Term Field Evaluation: Combined Eighth and Ninth Phase Results
  10/1/2006 - Reports of Investigations
  NIOSH and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) are conducting a Long Term Field Evaluation (LTFE) program to evaluate deployed self-contained self-rescuers (SCSRs). The objective of the program is to evaluate how well SCSRs endure the underg...
• Evaluation of Dust Exposure To Truck Drivers Following The Lead Haul Truck
  2/1/2005 - Conference papers
  This analysis will indicate safe following distances for haul trucks and other heavy equipment to avoid overexposure to respirable dust from the lead haul truck.
• The Effect of Standing Support Stiffness on Primary and Secondary Bolting Systems
  8/1/2003 - Conference papers
  Standing crib supports have been applied in underground mining programs to resist large roof movements and sustain high-loads. The parameter that has not been examined and is not well understood is the effect that a crib or other types of standing supp...
• Performance Evaluation of a Dust-Dispersion Model for Haul Trucks
  1/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper presents the results of testing of the Dynamic Component Program model with the ISC3 model of predicting dispersion of dust from haul trucks at two surface mine sites.
• Experimental Mine and Laboratory Dust Explosion Research at NIOSH
  5/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Explosion characteristics such as the minimum explosible concentration and the rock dust inerting requirements were measured for various combustible dusts. The explosion resistance characteristics of seals was also evaluated.
