  • Diesel engine emission deterioration - a preliminary study 
    Pretorius, Cecilia J (Mine Ventilation Society of South Africa (MVSSA), 2016-04)
    The objective of this study was to find a parameter in diesel and oil analysis of underground mining vehicles that can be correlated with personal diesel particulate matter (DPM) exposure and used as part of an engine ...
  • Diesel particulate matter exposure in South African platinum mines: an overview 
    Pretorius, CJ; Grove, T; Schinkel, J; Pronk, A; Nelson, G; Murray, J (The Mine Ventilation Society of South Africa, 2014-08)
    Personal diesel particulate matter (DPM) sampling was conducted on nearly 300 mine workers in the diesel and non-diesel sections of three platinum mines in South Africa. Respiratory health questionnaires were administered ...
