Hundreds of sand mining operations have appeared and expanded rapidly in western Wisconsin in the past decade. These operations produce respirable crystalline silica that extends beyond the fence of the sand mining operations to individuals living near them and their haul routes. The purpose of this quantitative study was to evaluate the rates of asthma and COPD in the western region of Wisconsin that has sand mining operations, compared to the southeastern region of Wisconsin that does not have sand mining operations, controlling for age, gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and smoking. To help understand the relationship, the ecosocial theory of disease distribution was used as the theoretical framework. The data used for this study included respondents (N = 1,507) of the University of Wisconsin's Survey of the Health of Wisconsin, Wave 1: 2008-2013 and locations of sand mining operations sites through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Binary logistic regression determined that there was no association between participant regions in Wisconsin (with sand mining operation sites and without sand mining operation sites) and asthma or COPD diagnosis. Although there was not a statistically significant association between participant regions in Wisconsin and asthma or COPD, this research revealed significant data pertinent to both diseases. Opportunity for positive social change includes working with government, healthcare providers, health agencies, and others to focus on access to healthcare in rural and low-resource areas. Additionally, industry standards for sand mine operation employees should be used for the surrounding communities until further research can be conducted.
