38 <br /> 8. The predominant wind directions centered on the EDD area vary between roughly <br /> northeast and southwest, with lesser amounts from the west and east. This directs <br /> the fine particles across and through major residential areas 100% of the time. <br /> 9. PM 2.5 and PM 10 pollutants have the ability to enter deeply into the human lung <br /> and remain there, causing physical damage, blockage of the airways, and <br /> chemical reactions with the fluids of the lung. Lung damage may be acute, <br /> (causing immediate effects from a large, short-term exposure); subchronic, <br /> (causing damage and disease at low rates over somewhat longer exposures); or <br /> chronic, (causing damage and disease at later dates due to repeated exposures <br /> over the lifetime of the individual). <br /> 10. Adverse reactions of the lung, throat, and nasal passages are common following <br /> exposure to airborne particles. Examples include our annual spring and summer <br /> exposures to broadleaf weed, grass, and tree pollen giving rise to allergic <br /> responses. Significant physical and chemical reactions to mineral particles such <br /> as are in fine-ground stone and concrete dust include asthma, emphysema, <br /> bronchitis, silicosis, reduced pulmonary function, and ultimately, cancers of <br /> various types. The elderly, children, and people with chronic lung disease, <br /> influenza, or asthma, are especially sensitive to the effects of particulate matter. <br /> 11. Fugitive dust from crushed gravel processing, stone-grinding, concrete-grinding, <br /> mixing or crushing, and pulverized road sand and gravel contain high quantities <br /> of shardlike, sharp-edged particles of glasslike material that easily penetrate and <br /> damage interior lung tissue. Sample studies done by the USEPA for typical EDE- <br /> 2 facilities show that very fine dust can be emitted from operations and storage <br /> activities at rates of several pounds per acre to double-digit quantities per day. <br /> 6 <br />
