总结 国际燃烧副产品及其健康影响大会有着悠久的传统， 汇集了来自环境科学各个学科的学者和研究人员。通过设计， 提供了一个独特的平台，交流思想，知识和经验，从不同的 环境科学学科，以推进对最新和最相关问题的看法 与燃烧有关。会议最重要的方面之一是集中培训新的 研究人员在该领域，这是通过互动驱动的会议设计之间的知名 参加会议的学者和学生及受训人员。 燃烧和热过程代表了与之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 超级基金研究计划的重要性。可能仍然使用不同的热处理来减轻 和补救超级基金场地，包括低温热解吸/处理，催化 氧化、热氧化和场外焚烧。在一些地方，意外火灾仍然很常见。所有 这些过程会导致有毒空气污染物的排放，而且在温度较低的情况下，这种情况往往更糟 解吸/处理比现场焚烧。热处理也被用作减少 能源和材料成本。许多能源回收过程都以增加排放为代价 和污染。使用可再生燃料与减少碳足迹之间存在微妙的平衡 以及与材料和能量回收相关的其他污染物的排放增加。增加 对这两个方面的规定往往相互矛盾。本次大会的目标是提供一个 讨论燃烧副产品的来源、归宿和健康影响的国际论坛。 这次会议的独特之处在于，它把这个多学科的个人团体聚集在一起， 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据可查的问题，这对促进 我们对这个不同领域的理解。最重要的是，大会积极培育发展 年轻的研究人员和学员，通过促进他们之间的互动和有成就的研究人员， 这个多样化的领域。我们请求财政支持，以支付会议的部分费用，包括差旅费 邀请世界知名学者和实习生的费用。这些资金也将有助于维持整体 在两年期内，大会的运作费用包括办事员支助和网站维护费用。

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.
