6/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper discusses factors that could result in a potential undetected dust explosion hazard, when using current dust sampling procedures, in an area that otherwise appears to be adequately protected with rock dust.
-
8/1/2006 - Conference papersNIOSH and MSHA conducted a joint survey to determine the range of coal particle sizes found in dust samples collected from intake airways of U.S. coal mines.
-
6/1/2010 - Conference papersIn this paper instrumentation and sampling strategies for accurate monitoring of airflow in an entry using two-axis and three-axis ultrasonic anemometers are evaluated.
-
6/1/2010 - Conference papersThis study examined the potential for coal mine roof bolter dust to be a source of a worker's exposure to respirable quartz.
-
5/1/2009 - Conference papersThis study shows a very good agreement between observations of partially burnt coal particles under a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and floor dust samples, collected and analyzed using the alcohol coking test and SEM, to estimate flame travel.
-
6/1/2007 - Conference papersResults from underground dust surveys to identify current operating practices and the types of controls being used at longwall operations are presented as an update on longwall dust control technology and operating practices.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersThe relationship of dust concentrations measured by personal gravimetric samplers to those measured by the SKCDD, an affordable, person-wearable, real-time dust monitor.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersThe results of a series of tests in an underground mine were used to evaluate several measurement methods that are currently used to characterize particulate matter emitted by diesel-powered equipment. This paper presents an overview of these techniques...
-
6/1/2005 - Conference papersThis paper evaluates the effectiveness of remotely applied nitrogen-enhanced foam to aid in efforts to isolate and suppress a mine fire.
-
1/1/2002 - Conference papersThis paper examines the development of dust sampling methods in U.S. coal mines, with emphasis on the benefits of personal sampling and on recent developments that permit real-time assessment of dust exposure.
