Evaluate New Technologies for Health and Safety

We will test new technologies for their contribution to hazardous exposures, such as heat, dust and diesel particulate matter. The improved San Xavier Mine facilities and instrumentation provided through the SFAz grant in concert with the hiring of an additional public health faculty member focused on exposure assessment in mining will raise our current highly regarded public health and mining combined program to the level of a unique international center.  We anticipate that we will be considered as the global choice for evaluation of health effects from exposure to mining processes and equipment, as well as the preferred location for strategic planning to reduce these adverse effects while maintaining productivity.  See the individual projects below for more details.
