1/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH recently investigated the performance of a lower-pressure, water-powered in-line series spray scrubber for removing localized airborne dust emitted at the source. Results showed noticeable improvements in airborne dust capture efficiency through ...
-
1/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA test system was developed at NIOSH's ventilation test gallery to measure airflow using a three-axis ultrasonic anemometer. The gallery was used to simulate face airflow conditions in underground mines having a blowing curtain. Airflow data were used t...

1/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesResults of diesel fuel fire experiments were conducted to determine the critical air velocity for preventing smoke rollback. Experimental results compared well with model predictions based on a computational fluid dynamics fire dynamics simulator.
-
12/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study outlines potential challenges regarding job safety and hearing conservation practices for noise-exposed, hearing-impaired workers.
-
12/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis publication describes worker noise exposure surveys in coal mines and coal preparation plants, revealing that worker dosimetry, time-motion studies, and equipment noise profiling are important for effective use of administrative controls.
-
10/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH researchers successfully developed a computer model that generates contact data by means of simulation while exercising the model with several variables associated with the machine and its operator.
-
7/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH researchers evaluated four seat designs on mine haulage vehicles with regard to roadway-induced jarring/jolting and operator comfort; the performances of the seat designs are compared.
-
7/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article examines the factors related to injuries due to inadequate blasting shelters and blast area security, and identifies mitigation techniques.
-
4/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesDiscusses a study that used a CFD program (fire dynamics simulator) based on large eddy simulations (LES) to model floor-level fires in a ventilated tunnel. The CFD results are compared with two simple theories of critical ventilation.
-
4/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA diesel particulate matter analyzer capable of direct, real-time measurement of engine exhaust particulate is necessary to effectively institute source control technology currently being used on diesel equipment and to ensure that the control measures ...
