9/28/2012 - News articlesImplementation of dust control technology and improved dust monitoring are effective ways for mine operators to reduce exposures to respirable coal dust. OMSHR is working to assist the industry’s efforts to limit miner exposure to dust.
-
9/28/2012 - News articlesPreventing coal mine explosions requires a suite of control strategies and NIOSH continues to conduct research to develop more effective intervention measures.
-
9/1/2012 - Technology NewsTo develop a simple, practical, quantitative, and reliable field test method for measuring air leakage into enclosed cab filtration systems with the goal of making enclosed cabs a healthy and safe work environment.
-
7/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis experimentally designed air curtain, adapted for roof bolting machines used in this study, is based upon previous design prototypes, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and trial-and-error testing.
-
4/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper investigates the influence of air velocity and shield advance rates on respirable dust levels. Also discussed are engineering controls currently used to reduce shield dust and alternative controls being investigated by NIOSH.
-
1/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study tests the ability of a new air nozzle system, located under the drill deck shroud, to improve the dust capture of the drill deck shroud.
-
12/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis investigation tested the feasibility of enhancing existing engineering dust controls by mounting a simple barrier on a longwall shearer that separated the operators from the cutting drums.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper discusses a limited number of control technologies to reduce or eliminate harmful respirable dust.
-
10/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH recently performed a laboratory study to evaluate which factors on an enclosed-cab filtration system are most significant.
-
5/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH research on reducing heavy equipment operator exposure to dust is detailed in this report.
