8/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes a simple, inexpensive, dependable, and field portable method for estimating the mass concentration of elemental carbon exiting the tailpipe of a diesel engine using a direct reading photometer in underground mines.
-
4/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe objective of this paper is to compare the results among (1) a NIOSH published standard to determine the mass of EC and OC on filter samples, (2) the aethalometer, which uses light extinction to measure "black carbon" or BC, and (3) measuring particl...

4/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper identifies and characterizes nanometer and ultrafine aerosols emitted by diesel engines in the underground environment and evaluates the effects of selected contemporary control technologies.
-
8/1/2006 - Reports of InvestigationsThis study evaluated the effectiveness of the state-of-the-art technologies for controlling DPM and gaseous emissions from underground diesel-powered mining equipment using the isolated zone approach.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersThe results of a series of tests in an underground mine were used to evaluate several measurement methods that are currently used to characterize particulate matter emitted by diesel-powered equipment. This paper presents an overview of these techniques...

6/1/2006 - Conference papersRecent NIOSH experience suggests that more attention may be needed in managing the issues associated with diesel emissions and their control.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersThe objective of the Diesel Emissions Evaluation Program (DEEP)-sponsored project at Inco Ltd.'s Stobie Mine was to conduct a long-term field evaluation of diesel particulate filter (DPF) systems available to the underground mining industry. Some of the...
-
3/1/2006 - Technology NewsA combination of engineering, administrative, and ventilation controls will eventually be required in many large opening mines in the United States to meet the regulatory DPM concentration limits. The AQE is a tool for mine planners to use to estimate s...
