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.
-
12/17/2013 - Reports of InvestigationsThis Report of Investigations compares dust levels generated in 20-ft cuts when using traditional exhaust face ventilation without a scrubber to dust levels in 20-ft cuts when using extended curtain setbacks with a scrubber operating.
-
6/5/2013 - Unpublished documents and reportsMine operators have a new tool for identifying specific work tasks that cause high respirable dust exposure for workers.
-
9/28/2012 - News articlesImplementation of dust control technology and improved dust monitoring are effective ways for mine operators to reduce exposures to respirable coal dust. OMSHR is working to assist the industry’s efforts to limit miner exposure to dust.

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.
-
6/1/2010 - Conference papersThis study examined the potential for coal mine roof bolter dust to be a source of a worker's exposure to respirable quartz.
-
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.
-
1/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study tests the ability of a new air nozzle system, located under the drill deck shroud, to improve the dust capture of the drill deck shroud.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper discusses a limited number of control technologies to reduce or eliminate harmful respirable dust.
-
4/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses the geochemical analyses which were applied in an effort to identify the specific source rock of respirable quartz dust in coal mines.
