310 Kb	HAZARD ALERT: Health effects of diesel exhaust In 2012, the World Health Organization classified diesel exhaust emission as a substance that is known to cause cancer in humans.

115 Kb	Testing Undiluted Exhaust in Underground Mines Technical information on the subject from the Ontario Ministry of Labour.

391 Kb	Diesel Engine - Turbocharger Fires Diesel engine turbochargers are increasingly acting as ignition sources for fires at surface coal mines.

2.4 Mb	Diesel Aerosols and Gases in Underground Mines Diesel engines are a major contributor to concentrations of submicron aerosols, CO, CO₂, NO_X, SO₂ and hydrocarbons (HC) in underground coal and metal/nonmetal mines. The extensive use of diesel-powered equipment in underground mines makes it challenging to control workers’ exposure to submicron aerosols and noxious gases emitted by those engines.

249 Kb	Controlling and Monitoring Diesel Emissions in Underground Mines The exposure of mine workers to diesel particulate matter (DPM) and gases is an issue of great concern to the underground mining community in the United States. Approximately 30,000 underground miners are potentially exposed to high concentrations of DPM.

1.3 Mb	Control of diesel engine exhaust emissions in the workplace This guidance provides practical advice to employers and the self employed on how to control exposure to diesel engine exhaust emissions (DEEEs) in the workplace, and so protect the health of employees and others who may be exposed.



124 Kb	An Overview of Diesel Particulate Exposures and Control Technology The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview on worker exposure to diesel particulate matter (DPM) and to discuss the effect of control technology on that exposure.

376 Kb	Controls Being Used to Reduce Diesel Particulate Matter Exposures MSHA identified mines that were having difficulty meeting the DPM limit. To provide further assistance, MSHA then visited approximately 60 of the mines that were experiencing difficulty complying with the DPM standard. As part of these visits, DPM exposures were measured and control technologies for DPM were observed and assessed.
