2/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe results of this study provide more insight into potential advantages and disadvantages of using biodiesel fuels for controlling emissions of aerosols and gases. Using diesel oxidation catalysts to control biodiesel emissions was re-examined.
-
11/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH researchers studied laser safety in potentially flammable environments. Researchers measured threshold igniting powers as a function of beam diameter for butane and propane-air mixtures by laser-heating targets placed on optical fiber tips.
-
10/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study assessing heavy-duty haulage trucks' contribution to the concentrations of aerosols and criteria gases in underground mine air and the physical properties of those aerosols for three FAME biodiesel blends.
-
3/1/2013 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study of the mutagenic potential of diesel emissions from neat and blended soy-based fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) biodiesel compared to ULSD PM using different engine operating conditions and exhaust aftertreatment configurations.
-
7/1/2008 - Conference papersThis study examines the use of a commercially-available lubricant for hearing aids to determine whether it would facilitate improved fit and attenuation for earplugs.
-
4/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis 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).
-
7/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study of the ignition of non-fire-resistant hydraulic fluid sprays was conducted by NIOSH. Both an open flame and a hot steel surface were used as the external heat sources.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersThe ambient diesel particulate matter (DPM) concentrations (at the intakes and exhausts of the mine) was evaluated as an entire vehicle fleet of a stone mine switched from using 35% biodiesel to a water-emulsified fuel (PuriNOx).
-
9/1/2004 - Peer reviewed journal articlesReports on the evaluation of water mist for the suppression of underground mine fires, such as fires in diesel fuel storage areas.
-
2/1/1999 - Conference papersThe NIOSH Pittsburgh Research Laboratory conducted research to determine the safe operating conditions for using recycled (used) lubricating oil from mining equipment as a partial replacement for diesel fuel to make ANFO-type blasting agents.
