• Respirable Dust Control for Surface Mines
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A project to reduce respirable silica dust exposure in surface mines through improved understanding of dust generation and transport, improvement of current control technologies, and development of new control technologies.
• Improved Dust Control Methods for Longwall Mining
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A project to develop control technologies that will reduce the most common sources of respirable dust on the longwall face, which will in turn protect the health of mine workers on the longwall face.
• Evaluation of LIDAR as a Novel Remote Dust Sensing Technology
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A project to evaluate the feasibility of using Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR), a remote sensing technology based on laser reflection, as a dust monitoring tool in the mining industry.
• Enhanced Utilization of Personal Dust Monitor Feedback
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A project to test an intervention to help miners use personal dust monitor feedback more effectively to reduce their exposure to respirable coal mine dust.
• Control Technologies and Strategies for Reducing Exposure of Underground Miners to Diesel Emissions
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A project to reduce exposures of underground miners to diesel particulate matter and gases through implementation of control technologies and understanding of the risks associated with  exposure to diesel engine emissions.
• Development of an Anti-Caking Rock Dust
  7/18/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to develop anti-caking rock dust products.
• Emissions from a Diesel Engine using Fe-based Fuel Additives and a Sintered Metal Filtration System
  3/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An article that describes a series of laboratory tests conducted to assess the effects of Fe-containing fuel additives on aerosols emitted by a diesel engine retrofitted with a sintered metal filter (SMF) system.
• Influence of Continuous Mining Arrangements on Respirable Dust Exposures
  3/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This article by NIOSH reports and analyzes dust concentrations measured for remote-controlled continuous mining machine operators as well as haulage operators at 10 U.S. underground mines.
• Using CPDM Dust Data
  2/1/2016 - Non-peer reviewed journal articles
  This trade publication piece by NIOSH reviews discussions with miners learning to use the continuous personal dust monitor, how the information provided by the device may affect behavior, and how to get over the technology learning curve.
• Formative Research to Reduce Mine Worker Respirable Silica Dust Exposure: A Feasibility Study to Integrate Technology into Behavioral Interventions
  2/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An article on the formative data collection and analysis that informed the development of a multilevel intervention to bridge health communication between workers and management to reduce mine worker overexposure to respirable silica dust.
