Workshop on interfacial chemistry in indoor environments, July 2007, Berkeley, California

界面化学和室内空气质量研讨会格伦·莫里森密苏里大学罗拉该奖项提供资金，支持科学家和工程师参加一个关于界面过程在影响人体暴露于室内空气污染物中的作用的研讨会。研讨会将于2007年7月在加州伯克利的劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室举行，参加者包括室内空气质量领域的主要研究人员，以及早期职业教师和研究生。室内空气越来越被认为是人类接触污染物的重要途径。表面反应（界面过程）被认为对各种污染物化合物的形成和转化有重要影响，但这一主题存在许多不确定性。本次讲习班将(i)评价关于室内空气质量的知识现状和界面化学物质在影响人体接触室内空气中的反应物和产物方面的作用；（ii）评估关于该主题的主要知识差距；（iii）制定有重点的研究行动计划，以填补这些知识空白。研讨会结果的书面报告将在适当的同行评议期刊上发表。

CBET 0707204Workshop on Interfacial Chemistry and Indoor Air QualityGlenn MorrisonUniversity of Missouri-RollaThis award provides funds to support the participation of scientists and engineers in a workshop on the role of interfacial processes in affecting human exposure to indoor air pollutants. The workshop will be held at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California in July 2007, and it will include leading researchers in the field of indoor air quality, as well as early career faculty and graduate students. Indoor air is increasingly recognized as an important pollutant exposure route for humans. Reactions on surfaces (interfacial processes) are thought to have major influences on the formation and transformations of various pollutant compounds, but many uncertainties exist on this topic. This workshop will (i) evaluate the current state of knowledge concerning indoor air quality and the role of interfacial chemical in affecting human exposures to reactants and products in indoor air; (ii) evaluate key gaps in knowledge on this topic; and (iii) develop a focused plan of action for research to fill these knowledge gaps. A written report of the workshop's results will be published in an appropriate peer-evaluated journal.
