• The Effects of Water Emulsified Fuel on Diesel Particulate Matter Concentrations in Underground Mines
  6/1/2006 - Conference papers
  The 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).
• Implementation of Diesel Particulate Filter Technology in Underground Metal and Nonmetal Mines
  6/1/2006 - Conference papers
  This paper provides detailed analysis of some of those challenges and short overviews of several projects launched by the NIOSH Pittsburgh Research Laboratory in an attempt to provide the underground mining industry with more adequate DPF systems.
• Instrumentation for Diesel Particulate Matter Emissions Research
  6/1/2006 - Conference papers
  The results of a series of tests in an underground mine were used to evaluate several measurement methods that are currently used to characterize particulate matter emitted by diesel-powered equipment. This paper presents an overview of these techniques...
• DEEP Project on Evaluation of Diesel Particulate Filters at Inco's Stobie Mine
  6/1/2006 - Conference papers
  The objective of the Diesel Emissions Evaluation Program (DEEP)-sponsored project at Inco Ltd.'s Stobie Mine was to conduct a long-term field evaluation of diesel particulate filter (DPF) systems available to the underground mining industry. Some of the...
• Measuring Diesel Particulate Matter in Underground Mines Using Submicron Elemental Carbon as a Surrogate
  6/1/2006 - Conference papers
  Elemental carbon (EC) is used as a surrogate for regulating the exposure to diesel particulate matter (DPM) of underground metal/nonmetal miners. Currently, EC represents DPM well in underground mines. Some control technologies have been shown to possib...
• Differential Pressure as a Measure of Particulate Matter Emissions from Diesel Engines
  4/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A diesel particulate matter analyzer capable of direct, real-time measurement of engine exhaust particulate is necessary to effectively institute source control technology currently being used on diesel equipment and to ensure that the control measures ...
• 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.
• Noranda Inc. - Brunswick Mine Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Field Study
  10/1/2004 - Unpublished documents and reports
  A summary of the investigation and findings of nearly three years of field and laboratory work looking at diesel particulate filter (DPF) systems.
• Submicrometer Elemental Carbon as a Selective Measure of Diesel Particulate Matter in Coal Mines
  10/1/2004 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A monitoring method for diesel particulate matter was published as Method 5040 by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
• A Computer Software Program that Estimates Air Quantity Requirements in Large Opening Stone Mines
  5/1/2004 - Conference papers
  Describes a computer program developed by NIOSH for estimating the air quantity needed to dilute diesel particulate matter in underground large opening mines.
