Practical Ways To Reduce Exposure To Diesel Exhaust In Mining A Tool Box

The mining community provided input on ways of reducing miners' exposure to diesel particulate matter from the exhaust of diesel engines. This guide or toolboxÓ draws upon ideas shared on practical ways to reduce exposure to diesel emissions in mining. The toolbox can be read cover-to-cover as a basic reference, or used as a troubleshooting guide by diesel equipment operators & mechanics. Some knowledge of engines is assumed. While some sections are of special interest only to underground mines (e.g., ventilation), most of this publication will be of value to surface mines as well. The ideas & concepts are just as relevant in metal & nonmetal mines as they are in coal mines, & many of the controls described are available to operators in other sectors.Hickson, Andrea is the author of 'Practical Ways To Reduce Exposure To Diesel Exhaust In Mining A Tool Box', published 2003 under ISBN 9780756735319 and ISBN 0756735319.
