2/1/2005 - Conference papersThis analysis will indicate safe following distances for haul trucks and other heavy equipment to avoid overexposure to respirable dust from the lead haul truck.
-
1/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesDiscusses a cooperative research effort to lower respirable dust levels in an enclosed cab on an older surface drill at a silica sand operation. A number of modifications were incorporated into the drill's filtration and pressurization system, as well a...

10/1/2004 - Conference papersThe NIOSH mining research program at the Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL) includes the areas of coal mine dust control and monitoring, and explosion prevention.
-
6/1/2004 - Reports of InvestigationsA personal dust monitor (PDM) was developed to measure respirable coal mine dust mass to provide accurate exposure data at the end of a work shift.
-
1/1/2004 - Training materials, Videos and multimediaThis clothes cleaning system is a quick, safe, and effective method to safely remove dust from a worker's clothing without exposing the worker, the work environment, or co-workers to respirable dust.
-
6/1/2002 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe amount of airborne respirable dust generated from breakage of different coals varies widely. This research was conducted to identify the facets of airborne respirable dust liberation from the coal product.
-
2/1/2002 - Conference papersNIOSH conducted a strategic planning effort to identify those areas in mining with the greatest research needs. In response, the Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL) has implemented a multi-faceted research program to improve silica dust control for the...
