dust as defined in the Coal Mine Health 

and Safety Act of 1969. 

Given the results of the recent coal 

dust particle size survey and large-scale 

explosion tests, NIOSH recommends a 

new standard of 80% TIC be required in 

the intake airways of bituminous coal 

mines. The survey results indicate that 

the current requirement of 80% TIC in 

return airways is still sufficient and 

appropriate. In addition, NIOSH agrees 

with and endorses an earlier 

recommendation that new rock dusting 

standards should be based on a worstcase scenario (using high volatile coals) 

with no relaxation for lower volatile 

coals.

therefore encourage the development 

and deployment of new and innovative 

anti-terrorism products and services.
