MINING UPDATE

In September 1995, the U.S. Congress directed the closure
of the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM). Mining health and
safety research at the USBM Pitsburgh, PA, and
Spokane, WA, Research Centers was assigned on an
interim basis to the U.S. Department of Energy, then
permanently assigned 10 the National Institue for
Occupational Safety and £Jcalth (NIOSH) in October 1996.
NIOSH is part of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention within the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services.

This fisting summarizes mining health and safety
publications and articles published by the Pittsburgh and
Spokane Rescarch Centers during 1995-96 and how to
order copies of them

To receive additional information aboul mining tssues
or other eecupational safety and health problems,
call 1-800-35-NIOSH. (1-800-356-4674), or visit the
NIOSH Home Page on the World Wide Web at
ttpvwww.cde.goviniostvhomepage. itm!

In addition, the Common Information Service System
(CISS) is a computer based information management and
delivery system providing free online access and
distribution of many of the mining health and safety
research publications listed below. Visit our CTSS site at
