• Evaluation of Mobile Applications for Digital Contact Tracing
  3/27/2023 - Research projects
  A project to develop guidelines for the design, implementation, and evaluation of digital contact tracing tools through laboratory and field testing under occupational settings and to investigate human factor considerations for adopting such tools.
• Investigating Mining Practices and Respirable Crystalline Silica Exposures in Underground Coal Mines
  9/18/2020 - Research projects
  A project to examine past and current coal mining practices and to identify potential trends, gaps in effective respirable crystalline silica exposure sampling and monitoring, and/or associations with geographic regions of high lung disease rates.
• Reducing Silica and other Respirable Hazards in the Industrial Minerals and Metal/Nonmetal Mining Industries
  2/18/2020 - Research projects
  A project to develop control interventions to reduce occupational exposure to silica and other respirable dusts in metal/nonmetal mines and mills.
• Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP)
  6/5/2017 - Research projects
  A project to maintain a Coal Workers’ Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP) designed to identify the incidence and progression of coal workers’ pneumoconiosis in all coal miners.
• Respirable Dust Control Methods on Continuous Mining Operations
  3/15/2017 - Research projects
  A project to develop and evaluate control technologies to reduce respirable dust exposures for operators of roof bolters and continuous mining machines.
• Controlling Respirable Dust in Coal Mining Operations
  2/22/2017 - Research projects
  A project to identify and develop improved respirable dust controls for coal mines and facilitate their implementation to reduce the dust exposures of mine workers.
• Respirable Dust Control for Surface Mines
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A project to reduce respirable silica dust exposure in surface mines through improved understanding of dust generation and transport, improvement of current control technologies, and development of new control technologies.
• Enhanced Utilization of Personal Dust Monitor Feedback
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A project to test an intervention to help miners use personal dust monitor feedback more effectively to reduce their exposure to respirable coal mine dust.
