About

This report details the results of a NIOSH investigation on the ability of the Coal Dust Explosibility Meter (CDEM) to predict the explosibility of samples of coal and rock dust mixtures collected from underground coal mines. The conclusions of this study strongly support the field use of the CDEM to measure the explosibility of coal and rock dust mixtures, to more effectively improve the onsite adequacy of rock dusting for explosion prevention.
