2/1/2004 - Conference papersA detailed description of blasting-related carbon monoxide migration from a construction site into nearby residential homes.
-
2/1/2003 - Conference papersReport on NIOSH studies using a 12-foot diameter sphere to identify key factors that may enhance the levels of CO associated with the detonation of several commercial trenching explosives.
-
2/1/2002 - Conference papersThis paper summarizes flyrock and blast area security fatalities from 1989-1999, examining causative factors. Accident data indicates that flyrock and lack of blast area security were primary causes of blasting related injuries in surface mining.
-
2/1/2002 - Conference papersReport on a NIOSH study to identify factors that may contribute to nitrogen oxides (NOx) production associated with non-ideal detonation of blasting agents.
-
2/1/2001 - Conference papersA compilation of the primary causes of flyrock in surface mining blasting operations and reasons a safe blast area was not secured.
-
1/1/2001 - Conference papersStudy of toxic fumes produced by the detonation of ANFO/emulsion blends. An extension of previous ANFO fumes production research that includes an emulsion blasting agent.
-
2/1/1998 - Conference papersThis paper presents data and theorem to calculate the risk of experiencing undesirable lightning related events while blasting or while engaged in other lightning sensitive activities. The paper provides an overview of lightning hazards in blasting oper...
-
1/1/1997 - Conference papersTraditional techniques to experimentally determine toxic fumes produced by detonating high explosives are not applicable to blasting agents. To detonate properly, blasting agents require confinement, a significant booster, and other parameters.
-
2/1/1996 - Conference papersResearch was conducted to determine the safe operating conditions for using recycled (used) lubricating oil from mining equipment as a partial replacement for diesel fuel to make ANFO-type blasting agents.
-
2/1/1995 - Conference papersThis project investigates the behavior of blast waves from the detonation of high explosives in an underground mine.
