Impact/Purpose:
The National Exposure Research Laboratory′s (NERL) Human Exposure and Atmospheric Sciences Division (HEASD) conducts research in support of EPA′s mission to protect human health and the environment. HEASD′s research program supports Goal 1 (Clean Air) and Goal 4 (Healthy People) of EPA′s strategic plan. More specifically, our division conducts research to characterize the movement of pollutants from the source to contact with humans. Our multidisciplinary research program produces Methods, Measurements, and Models to identify relationships between and characterize processes that link source emissions, environmental concentrations, human exposures, and target-tissue dose. The impact of these tools is improved regulatory programs and policies for EPA.
Description:
This article reports the efforts of the breath research community affiliated with the International Association of Breath Research (IABR) in disseminating research results in high profile technical meetings in the United States (US). Specifically, we describe presentations at a new venue for us at meetings of the Society of Toxicology (SOT—www.toxicology.org), and our growing presence at the Pittsburgh Conference and Exposition, ‘PittCon’ (www.pittcon.org) that we have reported on in previous years (Pleil (2010 J. Breath Res. 4 029001) and (2011 J. Breath Res. 5 049001), Pleil et al (2012 J. Breath Res. 6 039001). We have also commented on our own IABR meetings (Amann (2010 J. Breath Res. 4 010201), Dweik (2011 J. Breath Res. 5 030201), Pleil and Amann (2011 J. Breath Res. 5 049001), Corradi and Mutti (2012 J. Breath Res. 6 020201) as well as a related meeting of the Submarine Air Monitoring and Air Purification (SAMAP) community (Pleil and Hansel (2011 J. Breath Res. 6 019001)). The hope is that we can disseminate current thought and outreach of the IABR community. The present article is limited to breath-related topics in SOT and PittCon meetings in 2013. We encourage the readership of the Journal of Breath Research (JBR) to contribute their own thoughts and observations from other related meetings and workshops to the editors for inclusion in future reports. We note that most names mentioned in the following text are researchers associated with IABR and JBR.
