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. For any questions please contact: Dr. Crispin Pierce: piercech@uwec.edu (715) 836 5589 Public Lab Professionals including Stevie and Joe will be present at this meeting. They and members of Project Outreach will help participants attending the workshop to use recently developed Sand Sentinel materials. Copies will be available for all. Opportunities for interactive learning will be available.

Refreshments and a light lunch will be available. Door prizes will be offered to participants. We invite everyone from counties surrounding this area and beyond to attend.
