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.
-
5/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses the impact of ventilation airflow on alarm times of the smoke detectors and video cameras, CO levels, smoke optical densities and smoke obscuration, total smoke mass concentrations, and fire heat release rates.
-
10/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesInstruments remaining in a test section of a lead/zinc/copper room and pillar mine where pillar mining had taken place 14 years before were read to monitor long-term stability and quantify time dependent behavior in the mine roof and backfill.
-
10/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the testing and reliability of results of a NIOSH developed Coal Dust Explosibility Meter (CDEM), a hand-held instrument that uses optical reflectance to measure the explosibility of a rock dust and coal dust mixture.
-
1/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe work presented in this paper focuses on the relationship between the PDM and respirable dust concentrations currently measured by a coal mine dust personal sampler unit utilizing a 10 mm Dorr Oliver nylon cyclone.
-
8/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articlesLaser-based instruments are used in areas where coal dust ignition presents a safety hazard. This NIOSH study determines when an optical beam may be considered a potential ignition source in underground coal mines or coal storage facilities.
-
5/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articlesOptical technologies have progressed rapidly in the past 15 years. NIOSH is conducting a study to help provide a scientific basis for developing appropriate safety guidelines for optical equipment in underground coal mines.
-
3/1/1998 - Peer reviewed journal articlesMine trailing cables operated above safe thermal limits can cause premature insulation failure, increasing electrocution and fire hazards. This paper describes an approach to measuring temperatures within reeled cable under dynamic test conditions.
-
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.
