LEAD — Fine particulate matter from dust in the Open Cut is well below the national health standard, according to data from Fermilab’s dust monitors that are placed along Mill Street, officials said Wednesday.
The data was released during Fermilab’s monthly community informational meeting, during which officials brought in a toxicologist and human health specialist who specializes in risk assessments related to hazardous materials, to discuss the health risks of dust exposure. Fermilab officials hired Dr. Gary Krieger, of Boulder, Colo., to give information about measuring fine particulate matter, chemical and dust exposure at the meeting that lasted for more than two hours.
