6/1/2010 - Conference papersThis study examined the potential for coal mine roof bolter dust to be a source of a worker's exposure to respirable quartz.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper discusses a limited number of control technologies to reduce or eliminate harmful respirable dust.
-
2/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper describes a recently completed cooperative research effort by NIOSH with Sy-Klone International and Vulcan Materials Company to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly designed uni-directional filtration and pressurization system that brings al...
-
9/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper presents an overview of dust controls typically utilized in underground U.S. coal mines and an update of ongoing NIOSH PRL research efforts that are evaluating new control technologies.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThis report examines the effect of oversize particles, cyclone inversion, and cleaning procedures on the Personal Dust Monitor (PDM).
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThe objective of the research was to cost-effectively increase the air cleaning volume and improve dust capture efficiency of an off-the-shelf dust collector with a larger motor and blower.
-
9/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper summarizes existing dust control technologies routinely being used in underground coal mine operations, and provides a review of new controls that are being pursued.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersThis paper discusses NIOSH studies evaluating the impacts of emerging technologies that may reduce dust exposures for continuous mining and roof bolting personnel. These technologies include use of a wet-head cutting drum on a continuous mining machine,...
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers have demonstrated that mine-wide ventilation in large-opening stone mines can be improved by using low-pressure, high-volume propeller fans and constructing stoppings in key locations to direct and control airflow.
-
7/1/2005 - Conference papersThis manuscript will discuss five different research studies conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) which use ventilation in some application to lower workers' respirable dust exposures at surface and metal/nonmet...
