• Coal Dust and Methane
  6/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This article describes the Coal Dust Explosibility Meter (CDEM), a hand-held instrument developed by NIOSH, which uses optical reflectance to measure the explosibility of a rock dust and coal dust mixture, which is now commercially available.
• Coal Dust Explosibility
  1/1/1996 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper reports US Bureau of Mines (USBM) research on the explosibility of coal dusts. The purpose of this work is to improve safety in mining and other industries that process or use coal.
• Coal Dust Exposure and Mortality From Ischemic Heart Disease Among a Cohort of U.S. Coal Miners
  10/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Particulate exposure from air pollution increases the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality. Although coal miners are highly exposed to coal dust particulate, studies of IHD mortality risk among coal miners have had inconsistent results.
• Coal Dust Particle Size Survey of US Mines
  7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Results 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.
