• Real-Time Estimation of Elemental Carbon Emitted from a Diesel Engine
  8/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper describes a simple, inexpensive, dependable, and field portable method for estimating the mass concentration of elemental carbon exiting the tailpipe of a diesel engine using a direct reading photometer in underground mines.
• Comparing Measurements of Carbon in Diesel Exhaust Aerosols Using the Aethalometer, NIOSH Method 5040, and SMPS
  4/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  The objective of this paper is to compare the results among (1) a NIOSH published standard to determine the mass of EC and OC on filter samples, (2) the aethalometer, which uses light extinction to measure "black carbon" or BC, and (3) measuring particl...
• The Fate of Metal (Fe) During Diesel Combustion: Morphology, Chemistry, and Formation Pathways of Nanoparticles
  4/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This report describes an investigation in which NIOSH used iron-doped diesel fuel to generate metal-bearing diesel particles and a subsequent analysis of the particles using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).
• Sampling Results of the Improved SKC® Diesel Particulate Matter Cassette
  1/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Investigates the ability of the SKC DPM cassette to collect diesel particulate matter while segregating ore dust from the sample.
• Flammability of Gas Mixtures Containing Volatile Organic Compounds and Hydrogen
  5/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An experimental program was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of some current methods for predicting the flammability of gas mixtures containing hydrogen and flammable or nonflammable volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air.
