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.

The Effects of Water Spray Placement for Controlling Respirable Dust and Face Methane Concentrations4/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA series of laboratory evaluations examined the impact of water spray pressure, curtain setback distance, and external and underboom spray use for controlling respirable dust levels and sulfur hexafluoride tracer gas concentrations around a continuous m...
-
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...

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.
-
9/1/2001 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe objectives of this work are to 1) evaluate the performance of the P7 method on field samples of low quartz mass loadings, 2) evaluate the magnitude of dust mass spatial variability within an enclosed cab environment, and 3) estimate the subsequent p...

7/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articlesBecause of the need to provide short-term or real-time estimates of worker respirable dust exposure, porous foam may be a viable classification media for a low flow rate, disposable respirable dust sampler for use in the coal mining industry.
-
1/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAssessment of exposure to occupational dusts is a first step in reducing exposures to harmful dust concentrations. A new type of respirable dust sampler was developed and compared side-by-side to personal gravimetric samplers in the laboratory.
