1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesMiners face a variety of respiratory hazards while on the job, including exposure to silica dust which can lead to silicosis, a potentially fatal lung disease.
-
2/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe 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.
-
9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis 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.
-
2/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesTo 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.
-
12/1/2004 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA 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.
-
9/1/2021 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing a method for quantifying airborne organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) within aerosolized diesel particulate matter (DPM).
-
3/1/2021 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study evaluating a novel cassette designed to facilitate field-based, direct-on-filter analysis of RCS using transmission FTIR spectroscopy.
-
8/1/2020 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article that reviews available dust control technologies for bagging operations and discusses the findings of a recent case study of the current types of bagging and palletizing technologies in use.
-
6/1/2020 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article highlighting a number of effective dust-control techniques that have been developed and tested by NIOSH and the USBM since the implementation of the 1977 Mine Safety and Health Act.
-
6/1/2020 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study suggesting that laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy measurements coupled with partial least squares modeling results could be a method for rapidly analyzing diesel particulate matter concentrations.
