12th International Congress
on Combustion By-Products and Their Health Effects:
Combustion Engineering and Global Health in
the 21st Century - Issues and Challenges
June 5th - June 8th, 2011
Zhejiang
University in Hanzhou, China
The objectives of
this Congress are to provide an international forum to discuss
topics on the origin, fate, and health effects of combustion
by-products. This field has gained significant relevance
to worldwide environmental policy because risk-based programs
rely increasingly on the ability of advanced scientific research
to provide mechanistic, diagnostic, and analytical answers to
complex problems concerning exposure to air toxicants.
The Congress
provides a forum for advanced learning through emphasis on
internationally recognized speakers; advanced scientific,
health, and engineering research presentations; and an extensive
poster session. This focus furnishes ample learning
experiences and knowledge exchange for all participants.
The Congress is especially interested in attracting abstracts
and encouraging participation from students and new
investigators.
Researchers and
practitioners have the opportunity to interact and discuss
recent developments and future goals in the control of
combustion by-products, as well as to explore in great detail
the effects of exposure to combustion emissions on human health
and ecosystems.
Emissions from
combustion sources continue to be an important health and
environmental issue. Recent studies have identified new
biological effects and mechanisms associated with exposure to
combustion emissions, and a more detailed picture is emerging of
the combustion parameters and atmospheric chemistry associated
with adverse health effects.
