About the Cover

Rapid proliferation of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) facilities has led to concerns about human exposure to airborne pollutants, notably fine particulates (PM2.5, particles with a diameter of 2.5 渭m and smaller) and crystalline silica (quartz). Fine particulates have been identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) as a cause of cardiovascular and lung disease including lung cancer. In our cover feature in this issue, 鈥淧M2.5 Airborne Particulates Near Frac Sand Operations,鈥� the authors describe their first-of-its-kind pilot study to measure PM2.5 around frac sand mines. Overall, five of the six study sites had PM2.5 levels above the U.S. EPA annual standard of 12 碌g/m^3.
