Diesel particulate matter exposure in South African platinum mines: an overview

Author: Pretorius, CJ ; Grove, T ; Schinkel, J ; Pronk, A ; Nelson, G ; Murray, J Date: Aug 2014 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 to all of these ... Read more
Evaluation of diesel particulate matter sampling techniques

Author: Pretorius, CJ ; Grove, T Date: Sep 2011 The study evaluated diesel particulate matter (DPM) sampling methods used in the South African mining industry. The three-piece cassette respirable, open face and stopper sampling methods were compared with the SKC DPM cassette method to find ... Read more
Screening of various diesel particulate matter samples from various commodity mines

Author: Mahlangu, Vusi J ; Pretorius, Cecilia J ; Ndibewu, PP Date: Sep 2016 This paper presents qualitative analysis results of diesel particulate matter (DPM) from various mining commodities in South Africa. The objective of this work was to determine the concentrations of elements in DPM samples. For this screening ... Read more
Trends from the South African historical diesel particulate matter data

Author: Pretorius, CJ Date: Mar 2012 Currently, there is no occupational exposure limit (OEL) for diesel particulate matter (DPM) in South Africa. Recently the Department of Mineral Resources and the mining industry have made efforts to determine which concentration of DPM could ... Read more
Work in progress: Diesel particulate baseline for the platinum mine industry

Author: Pretorius, CJ Date: Mar 2013 This paper shares the current DPM Baseline project that the CSIR is conducting for the platinum mine industry. The project only ends March 2013 so no results are reported in this paper. The paper describes the project plan such as the exposure ... Read more
