This interagency transfer to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) supports a study by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) on international transport of atmospheric pollution, including impacts on air quality and climate. This is a pressing issue for both atmospheric science and the regulatory community, with obvious international implications. We are now at a point where it is worthwhile to take stock of recent work in this area and to identify new areas of study in order to ensure future progress. This study is being supported by the EPA, NSF, NASA, and NOAA and will focus on intercontinental transport and chemical transformation. The need for this study was identified by the Air Quality Research Subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council and agreed on by the participating agencies. This transfer covers one fifth of the cost of the NAS study, as agreed upon by all parties.

这一跨部门转移给环境保护局（EPA）的资金支持了美国国家科学院（NAS）关于大气污染国际传输的研究，包括对空气质量和气候的影响。 这对大气科学和监管界都是一个紧迫的问题，具有明显的国际影响。 我们现在正处于一个值得评估这一领域最近工作的时刻，并确定新的研究领域，以确保今后取得进展。 这项研究得到了EPA，NSF，NASA和NOAA的支持，并将重点关注洲际运输和化学转化。 国家科学技术理事会空气质量研究小组委员会确定了这项研究的必要性，并得到了参与机构的同意。 这一转移支付了所有各方商定的NAS研究费用的五分之一。
