3/31/2015 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to develop a monitor that can measure diesel particulate matter (DPM) in real time for at least a month and provide information on the mine-wide DPM concentrations to a central control station located on the surface.
-
12/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article presenting a performance evaluation of a wearable, real-time DPM monitor, the Airtec, in several underground metal/nonmetal mines by comparing it to the standard method for determining DPM exposures (NIOSH method 5040).
-
10/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study assessing heavy-duty haulage trucks' contribution to the concentrations of aerosols and criteria gases in underground mine air and the physical properties of those aerosols for three FAME biodiesel blends.
-
6/1/2013 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article evaluating a commercial instrument developed based on NIOSH research for measuring EC concentrations in real time.
-
3/1/2013 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study of the mutagenic potential of diesel emissions from neat and blended soy-based fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) biodiesel compared to ULSD PM using different engine operating conditions and exhaust aftertreatment configurations.
-
12/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn this study, the current exposure metric and two additional metrics, the surface area and the total number concentration, were evaluated by conducting simultaneous measurements of diesel ultrafine aerosols in a laboratory setting.
-
1/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses the results of a study to investigate the effects of engine operating conditions and exhaust aftertreatments on the mutagenicity of diesel particulate matter (DPM) collected directly in an underground mine environment.
-
3/1/2009 - Conference papersThe study objective was to compare some in vitro genotoxic activities between solvent-extraction and surfactant-dispersion preparations for a generally available diesel exhaust reference material, U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology DPM...
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThis NIOSH study was conducted to establish the effects of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) system with sintered metal substrate on the concentrations and size distributions of nano and ultrafine aerosols and concentrations of nitric oxides in undergro...
