6/1/2008 - Conference papersThe objective of the research was to cost-effectively increase the air cleaning volume and improve dust capture efficiency of an off-the-shelf dust collector with a larger motor and blower.
-
2/1/2008 - Information CircularsThis report summarizes a field study by NIOSH that documented the reactions of 30 miners at 4 underground coal mines concerning the use of personal dust monitors (PDMs) and how they make use of the information it provides.
-
10/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesDuring a recent NIOSH field evaluation of a newly designed filtration and pressurization system for an enclosed cab of a surface drill, it was determined that the drill operator's respirable-dust exposure was significantly increased during time periods ...

9/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis NIOSH paper documents coal miners’ reactions to the new Personal Dust Monitor (PDM), and how they make use of the information th PDM provides.
-
9/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper summarizes existing dust control technologies routinely being used in underground coal mine operations, and provides a review of new controls that are being pursued.
-
9/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesTests have been conducted by NIOSH on a newly designed device for smaller diameter drills that separates the water from the bailing air before it reaches the bit and thus provides the cost benefit of dry drilling while providing the benefit of wet drill...
-
4/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA quick, safe, and effective method has been developed that allows workers to clean their dust laden work clothing periodically throughout the day.
-
1/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe Thermo personal DataRam (pDR) is an instantaneous sampler that uses light-scattering technology to provide relative measures of airborne respirable dust. The pDR can be used in active and passive modes to measure respirable dust levels.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersThis paper discusses NIOSH studies evaluating the impacts of emerging technologies that may reduce dust exposures for continuous mining and roof bolting personnel. These technologies include use of a wet-head cutting drum on a continuous mining machine,...
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers have demonstrated that mine-wide ventilation in large-opening stone mines can be improved by using low-pressure, high-volume propeller fans and constructing stoppings in key locations to direct and control airflow.
