1/1/2017 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article by NIOSH
-
11/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article from NIOSH describes the methodology used to develop the computational fluid dynamics models, to calculate the model input and to validate the models based on the experimental data.
-
3/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article by NIOSH reports and analyzes dust concentrations measured for remote-controlled continuous mining machine operators as well as haulage operators at 10 U.S. underground mines.
-
2/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article on the formative data collection and analysis that informed the development of a multilevel intervention to bridge health communication between workers and management to reduce mine worker overexposure to respirable silica dust.
-
2/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article about the design and testing of a new environmentally controlled primary crusher operator booth at a granite quarry near Wausau, WI.
-
12/1/2015 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study examines the efficiency of a filtration and pressurization system that was installed in a control room at a mineral processing plant to reduce respirable dust concentrations.
-
2/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing the results of a field test to verify the effectiveness of MERV 16 filters in the enclosed cab filtration systems on a face drill and roof bolting mining machine, which were tested at an underground limestone mine.
-
2/1/2014 - Book chapters, Peer reviewed journal articlesA journal article presenting an analysis of the % of silica in dust samples for the U.S. mining industry collected from 1997 to 2011.
-
7/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis experimentally designed air curtain, adapted for roof bolting machines used in this study, is based upon previous design prototypes, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and trial-and-error testing.
-
4/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper investigates the influence of air velocity and shield advance rates on respirable dust levels. Also discussed are engineering controls currently used to reduce shield dust and alternative controls being investigated by NIOSH.
