Notice of Workshop on Ultrafine Particulate Matter Metrics and
Research
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of Workshop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of
Research and Development's Air, Climate, and Energy (ACE) program is
organizing a workshop on Ultrafine Particulate Matter (UFP) metrics and
research. This workshop is intended to provide an overview of the
state-of-the-science on UFP emissions, air quality impacts, exposures,
and health effects, as well as promote discussions on relevant UFP
metrics to promote consistency and collaboration in current and future
research. The workshop will be held on February 11-13, 2015 in Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina. The workshop will be open to attendance
by interested public observers on a first-come, first-served basis up
to the limits of available space.
DATES: The workshop will be held on February 11-13, 2015.
ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held at U.S. EPA, 109 T.W. Alexander
Drive, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. To register, please
visit the Web site: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/us-epa-workshop-on-ultrafine-particles-tickets-13583846651. In addition to participating
in person, there will be access to the plenary sessions via webinar.
The pre-registration deadline is January 27, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For details on workshop registration
or logistics, please contact Rich Baldauf at (919) 541-4386, or
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA is organizing a workshop to bring
together internal and external experts from multiple disciplines
including, but not limited to, atmospheric science, monitoring, air
quality analysis, and health assessment, to discuss new and emerging
research related to ultrafine particles. The workshop will consist of
platform presentations and panel discussions on UFP-relevant science
related to emissions, ambient air quality, exposures, and health
effects. State-of-the-science presentations will be provided on
combustion emissions and control issues, health effects evidence, and
previous policy considerations in the United States and
[[Page 2415]]
Europe. Presentations and discussions will occur on metrics and
indicators relevant to air quality and health impacts, and instruments
and methods that can be used to measure and evaluate these metrics. The
workshop will also provide researchers with the opportunity to describe
on-going and planned UFP research to promote collaboration and
communication within the scientific community.
Members of the public may attend the workshop as observers. Space
is limited, and reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-
served basis.
Dated: January 7, 2015.
