9/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis NIOSH paper documents coal miners’ reactions to the new Personal Dust Monitor (PDM), and how they make use of the information th PDM provides.
-
9/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesTests have been conducted by NIOSH on a newly designed device for smaller diameter drills that separates the water from the bailing air before it reaches the bit and thus provides the cost benefit of dry drilling while providing the benefit of wet drill...

7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH's Pittsburgh Research Laboratory conducted a study of the explosibility of various metals and elemental dusts, focusing on explosion temperatures. The data will aid in evaluating explosion hazards in the minerals/metals processing industries.
-
7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH's Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) conducted joint research on post-explosion dust samples. The data will aid in future forensic investigations of accidental coal mine dust explosions.
-
4/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA quick, safe, and effective method has been developed that allows workers to clean their dust laden work clothing periodically throughout the day.
-
1/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe Thermo personal DataRam (pDR) is an instantaneous sampler that uses light-scattering technology to provide relative measures of airborne respirable dust. The pDR can be used in active and passive modes to measure respirable dust levels.
