ABSTRACT

Diesel exhaust is a major cause of large number of occupational diseases. Acute and continuous exposure to DPM can cause numerous health issues including respiratory disease, lung disease, heart disease, etc. The NIOSH and the IARC consider DPM as ‘probable carcinogenic’ and ‘carcinogenic’, respectively. In large underground M/NM mines, DPM regulatory compliance is challenging. This paper primarily focuses on the evolution and application of real-time DPM monitoring in mining. This study discusses different monitors performance, their applications, and prospects of DPM monitoring in mining. This paper also presents an overview of core issues of using diesel equipment in underground mines and summarises existing DPM regulations in US and other countries.

抽象的

柴油机排气是大量职业病的主要原因。急性和持续接触DPM会引起许多健康问题，包括呼吸系统疾病，肺部疾病，心脏病等。NIOSH和IARC分别将DPM视为“可能致癌”和“致癌”。在大型地下M / NM矿山中，DPM法规遵从性具有挑战性。本文主要关注实时DPM监控在采矿中的发展和应用。这项研究讨论了不同的监控器性能，它们的应用以及采矿中DPM监控的前景。本文还概述了在地下矿山中使用柴油设备的核心问题，并总结了美国和其他国家/地区现有的DPM法规。
