CBET-0837030DellingerThis award provides funds to partially support a biennial international conference on research into the formation, mitigation, and adverse health effects of products of combustion. The conference will be held in Research Triangle Park, NC and hosted by the US-EPA. The tentative date for the conference is June 14-17, 2009. This is the eleventh conference, and approximately 120 researchers are expected to participate. Six plenary lectures are in the planning stage. The organizers expect that 60-90 papers will be submitted and that graduate students will present some of these. The NSF Combustion, Fire, and Plasma Systems program has provided support for four previous gatherings of this conference (Arizona in 2005, Sweden in 2003, North Carolina in 2005, Fand Italy in 2007). Travel expenses were provided for ten students in 2005, four students in 2003, eight students in 2005, and eight students in 2007. The website for the meeting will list the availability of NSF support for student travel (http://www.lsu.edu/piccongress/).Combustion research is a multi-disciplinary field encompassing diverse disciplines in engineering and science. Society relies on combustion for power generation, transportation, and manufacturing. While great strides have been made and continue to be made in mitigating pollutant formation from combustion, some emissions persist, and the health effects of these emissions are just beginning to be examined in detail. This conference allows health-focused and combustion-focused researchers to exchange ideas in a stimulating technical forum. Policymakers will also be in attendance to participate in the exchange of information. The intellectual merit of this activity arises from the participation of combustion and health experts from the various countries, their discourse, their communications with students, and their ultimate recommendations for future research directions. The outcomes of this meeting can serve as a useful guide for setting priorities of the NSF Combustion and Plasma Systems program. For broader impacts, graduate students involved in the meeting will be encouraged to participate further in research into toxic byproduct formation, mitigation, and lifecycle/health effects. The meeting offers a unique opportunity for health and combustion experts to interact. The informal discussions at this meeting would provide a valuable learning experience for the students who participate. The conference would also promote international, multi-disciplinary collaboration and communication. Ultimately, local air quality and public health could be improved by the outcomes of the conference.

该奖项提供资金部分支持两年一次的国际会议，研究燃烧产物的形成、缓解和对健康的不利影响。会议将在北卡罗来纳州三角研究园举行，由美国环保署主办。会议暂定日期为2009年6月14日至17日。这是第11届会议，预计约有120名研究人员参加。六场全体讲座正处于计划阶段。组织者预计将提交60-90篇论文，研究生将展示其中的一些。美国国家科学基金会燃烧、火和等离子体系统项目为本次会议的前四次会议提供了支持（2005年在亚利桑那州，2003年在瑞典，2005年在北卡罗莱纳州，2007年在意大利）。2005年为10名，2003年为4名，2005年为8名，2007年为8名。会议的网站将列出NSF对学生旅行的支持（http://www.lsu.edu/piccongress/）.Combustion研究是一个多学科领域，包括工程和科学的不同学科)。社会依靠燃烧来发电、运输和制造。虽然在减少燃烧产生的污染物方面已经取得并将继续取得重大进展，但一些排放物仍然存在，这些排放物对健康的影响才刚刚开始得到详细研究。这次会议使关注健康和关注燃烧的研究人员能够在一个令人兴奋的技术论坛上交流思想。政策制定者也将出席会议，参与信息交流。这一活动的智力价值来自各国燃烧和健康专家的参与、他们的论述、他们与学生的交流以及他们对未来研究方向的最终建议。本次会议的结果可以作为一个有用的指导，以确定美国国家科学基金会燃烧和等离子体系统计划的优先事项。对于更广泛的影响，将鼓励参加会议的研究生进一步参与有毒副产品形成、缓解和生命周期/健康影响的研究。会议为健康和燃烧专家提供了一个独特的互动机会。本次会议的非正式讨论将为参加会议的学生提供宝贵的学习经验。会议还将促进国际间、多学科间的合作与交流。最终，会议的成果可以改善当地的空气质量和公众健康。
