Project Information:

Progress :The most recent NARSTO activity is an assessment of current and future directions of emission inventory use in North America. It was completed in 2005. The NARSTO Exercutive Steering committee has directed the management coordinators to establish workgroups and teams to formulate future NARSTO activities related to aerosol modeling on several spatial and temporal scales and to provide recommendations on regarding NARSTO assessment activities related to global air quality and climate forcings. Sevearl NARSTO supported workshops, conferences, and /or meetings are anticipated.

Relevance :This task directly supports EPA's desire to enhance public/private air quality research partnerships throughout North America by providing technical and managerial support to the process.
