We have been measuring air quality around frac sand operations, meeting with community groups, the DNR, academic colleagues, community organizations, such as Save the Hills Alliance, and industry representatives over the last nine years. The act of sand mining and processing sand for hydraulic fracturing generates particulate matter that becomes airborne. Our aim is to quantify the risk of ambient exposure to airborne particulates around the industrial silica sand operations so that communities and decision-makers can be well-informed of their air quality. It is our hope to address your concerns, to provide our expertise and knowledge of this subject, and to help concerned citizens such as yourselves with community education and interpretation of data from our new Purple Air Monitors.
