8/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article examines the spatial variability of dust concentrations within a coal miner’s breathing zone and the impact of sampling location at the cap lamp, nose, and lapel.
-
8/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH completed a survey of equipment sound levels and worker noise exposures in the mining industry. The findings identify the equipment and machinery likely to cause worker overexposures and the workers found to be experiencing overexposures.
-
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.
-
8/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article focuses on U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) and NIOSH research to examine factors that had a significant influence on mine face ventilation design during the past century.
-
7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesWater spray characteristics, including droplet size and velocity, airborne dust capture potential, and induced airflow quantity for various spray nozzle designs were evaluated to provide basic information for improving spray applications.
-
7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesResults indicate that particle sizes of mine coal dust in intake airways are finer and would require more incombustible matter to be effectively inerted than the 65% incombustible specified in current regulations.
-
7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH's Pittsburgh Research Laboratory conducted a study of the explosibility of various metals and elemental dusts, focusing on explosion temperatures. The data will aid in evaluating explosion hazards in the minerals/metals processing industries.
-
7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper presents the development and results of a comprehensive, "dynamic," three-dimensional reservoir model of a typical multi-panel Pittsburgh coalbed longwall mine. Results presented in this paper include a simulation of gas flow patterns from th...

7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH's Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) conducted joint research on post-explosion dust samples. The data will aid in future forensic investigations of accidental coal mine dust explosions.
-
7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis research determined noise exposures of equipment operators while documenting worker task. The types of equipment studied included asphalt pavers, backhoes, bulldozers, compaction equipment, excavators, haul trucks, and wheeled loaders.
