Air Quality Research—Seeking Your Assistance
Dr. Crispin Pierce, UW-EC, and his students are on the leading edge of a research project to study the potential impact of sand mining on the quality of the air we breathe.
They need the help of every one of you!
Particulate matter including silica dust is released during mining/blasting/crushing/processing and transport processes used by the mining operations. When airborne silica dust in the form of small particulates and at dangerous levels is inhaled into the lungs, it causes diseases which take 10-20 years to develop. There is no cure. Silica dust is carcinogenic!
The most up to date equipment is needed to adequately test ambient air for silica dust. A research fund has been established. Your donations (in any amount) would be greatly appreciated. Donations are tax deductible.
