• 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.
• Reducing Dust Exposure from Contaminated Work Clothing with a Stand-Alone Cleaning System
  6/1/2008 - Conference papers
  An alternative method to the original system developed by NIOSH and Unimin Corp to provide for a stand-alone clothes cleaning system.
• Relationship Between Elemental Carbon, Total Carbon, and Diesel Particulate Matter in Several Underground Metal/nonmetal Mines
  2/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  To evaluate how elemental carbon (EC), a surrogate of diesel particulate matter (DPM), predicts DPM, measurements of total carbon (TC) and EC were taken away from potential interferences in four underground metal/nonmetal mines during production.
• Effectiveness of Selected Diesel Particulate Matter Control Technologies for Underground Mining Applications: Isolated Zone Study, 2004
  8/1/2006 - Reports of Investigations
  This study evaluated the effectiveness of the state-of-the-art technologies for controlling DPM and gaseous emissions from underground diesel-powered mining equipment using the isolated zone approach.
• Effectiveness of Selected Diesel Particulate Matter Control Technologies for Underground Mining Applications: Isolated Zone Study, 2003
  5/1/2006 - Reports of Investigations
  An underground metal mine study assessed the effects of diesel emissions control technologies (such as DPF systems, diesel oxidation catalytic converter, and biodiesel blends) on concentrations of diesel particulate matter and gases in mine air.
• Technology News 515 - Float Coal Dust Explosion Hazards
  4/1/2006 - Technology News
  This publication is intended to promote awareness of float coal dust explosion hazards in the mining industry and offers a float coal dust mitigation technique.
• Evaluation of the SKC® DPM Cassette for Monitoring Diesel Particulate Matter in Coal Mines
  12/1/2004 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A commercial version of the BOM impactor, called the DPM Cassette, was recently introduced by SKC®. Tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of the DPM Cassette for measuring diesel-source elemental carbon in the presence of coal dust.
