摘要 国际燃烧副产物及其健康影响大会具有悠久的 汇集了来自环境科学各学科的学者和研究人员。通过设计它 提供一个独特的平台，在不同的公司内部交流思想、知识和经验 环境科学学科以促进对最新和相关问题的看法 与燃烧有关的。会议的一个最重要的方面是集中培训新的 该领域的研究人员，这是通过互动驱动的会议设计实现的 参加会议的学者、学生和学员。 燃烧和热过程是相关的重大环境和健康问题 随着超级基金场地的修复，能源生产、材料和能源回收至关重要 对超级基金研究计划的重要性。可能仍在使用不同的热工艺来缓解 以及修复超级基金站点，其中包括低温热解吸/处理、催化 氧化、热氧化和异地焚烧。意外火灾在一些地点仍然很常见。所有的 这些过程会导致有毒空气污染物的排放，而且通常在低温条件下情况会更糟。 解吸/处理比现场焚烧要好。热加工也被用作一种减少 能源和材料成本。许多能源回收过程的代价是排放增加。 和污染。在使用可再生燃料以减少碳足迹之间存在微妙的平衡 以及与材料和能源回收相关的其他污染物的排放增加。渐增 对这两个方面的监管往往是相互矛盾的。本届大会的目标是提供一个 讨论燃烧副产物的来源、命运和对健康影响的国际论坛。 这次会议的独特之处在于，它将这个多学科的个人小组聚集在一起，专注于 这些问题。它独特地鼓励不同科学家之间的交流，以确保更好地 了解新出现的问题以及有充分记录的问题，这对推进 我们对这个多元化领域的理解。最重要的是，大会积极培育 通过促进年轻研究人员和受训人员与有成就的研究人员之间的互动 这个多样化的领域。我们要求提供财政支持，以支付包括旅费在内的部分会议费用。 特邀世界知名学者和实习生的费用。这笔资金还将有助于维持整体 大会在两年期内的运作，以及文书支助和网站维护费。

Summary The International Congress on Combustion By-Products and their Health Effects has a long tradition of bringing together scholars and researchers from various disciplines of environmental sciences. By design it provides a unique platform for the exchange of ideas, knowledge and experience from within the different disciplines of environmental sciences to advance perspective on the most current and relevant issues associated with combustion. One of the most important aspect of the meeting is focus on training of new researchers in the field, which is achieved by interaction-driven conference design between the renown scholars and students and trainees participating in the meeting. Combustion and thermal processes represent significant environmental and health concerns associated with the remediation of Superfund sites, energy production, materials and energy recovery and are of critical importance to the Superfund Research Program. May different thermal processes are still used to mitigate and remediate Superfund sites, which include low temperature thermal desorption/treatment, catalytic oxidation, thermal oxidation and off-site incineration. Accidental fires are still common at some sites. All of these processes lead to emission of toxic air pollutants, and often this is worse with the low temperature desorption/treatment than for on-site incineration. Thermal processes are also used as a way to reduce energy and material costs. Many of the energy recycling processes come at a price of increased emission and pollution. There is a delicate balance between the uses of renewable fuels to decrease carbon footprint and increased emission of other pollutants associated with materials and energy recovery. Increasing regulation on both those aspects are quite often contradicting. The goal of this congress is to provide an international forum to discuss the origins, fate, and health effects of combustion by-products. This meeting is unique in that it brings this multidisciplinary group of individuals together to focus on these problems. It uniquely encourages communication among diverse scientists to ensure better understanding of emerging problems as well as well documented ones, which is critical for advancement of our understanding of this diverse field. Most importantly, the Congress actively nurtures the development of younger researcher and trainees by fostering interactions between them and accomplished researchers in this diverse field. We are requesting financial support to cover partial cost of the conference including travel expenses for invited world-renown scholars and trainees. This funds will also help maintain the overall operation of the Congress within the biennial period with clerical support and website maintenance costs.
