Research Category: Targeted Research
Objective:
The objective of this subproject of the Center for Air Toxic Metals (CATM) is to facilitate the transfer of technical information produced by CATM, several communication vehicles are used, including participation in conferences, symposia, workshops, and other educational programs; annual meetings and peer review; and the publication of a semiannual newsletter.
Progress Summary:
The Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC), through CATM, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Department of Energy, has organized and sponsored four conferences on Air Quality: Mercury, Trace Elements, and Particulate Matter, held in 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2003. The first two conferences were held in Tysons Corner, McLean, Virginia. The third and fourth conferences were held in Arlington, Virginia. Air Quality V: Mercury, Trace Elements, and Particulate Matter is scheduled to be held in September 2005 in Arlington, Virginia. The Air Quality conference is a forum for reviewing the current state of science and policy on the pollutants mercury, trace elements, and particulate matter in the environment.
The CATM Web page has been maintained throughout the year and can be accessed at www.undeerc.org. Copies of the CATM Newsletter are available and also can be accessed via the CATM Web page.
This is one of the research projects funded by the Center. For descriptions of the other research conducted by CATM, see the 2003 Annual Reports for R827649C009 through R827649C022.
Future Activities:
This project will continue in the next year.
