• Diesel Aerosols and Gases in Underground Mines: Guide to Exposure Assessment and Control
  10/1/2011 - Guides and manuals, Reports of Investigations
  A comprehensive guide to establish a program to curtail diesel particulate matter emissions, control pollutants after release in an underground mine environment and reduce exposures using administrative controls.
• Aerosols Emitted in Underground Mine Air by Diesel Engine Fueled with Biodiesel
  2/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  The results of this study provide more insight into potential advantages and disadvantages of using biodiesel fuels for controlling emissions of aerosols and gases. Using diesel oxidation catalysts to control biodiesel emissions was re-examined.
• Effects of Diesel Exhaust Aftertreatment Devices on Concentrations and Size Distribution of Aerosols in Underground Mine Air
  9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper summarizes the results of a study conducted to evaluate the effects that several types of DPFs, DFEs, and a DOC have on the concentration and size distribution of diesel aerosols in an underground mine.
• Effectiveness of Selected Diesel Particulate Matter Control Technologies for Underground Mining Applications: Isolated Zone Study, 2004
  8/1/2006 - Reports of Investigations
