DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Louisiana State University proposes to provide continuation of the Management of the international Congress on Combustion By-products and Their Health Effects through management of the 13th Congress in New Orleans, Louisiana with the LSU Health Sciences Center as the local organizer. Emissions from the combustion and thermal processes have always been an important issue for the remediation of Superfund sites and NIEHS. The use of on site, controlled, high temperature incineration as a remediation technology has been reduced by EPA in recent years due to intense public scrutiny. However, it has frequently been replaced by low temperature thermal desorption/treatment and off-site incineration of the volatilized materials. All of these processes lead to emissions of toxic air pollutants, in some cases greater than for on-site incineration. In addition there is the risk of accidental fires and transportation fires that can significantly impact the local environment. Furthermore, many Superfund sites contain wastes that were partially burned before or during disposal. Consequently, the hazardous materials at the site are combustion-derived pollutants that deserve specialized study not normally afforded to the originally abandoned material. The goal of this Congress is to provide an international forum to discuss topics on the origins, fate, and health effects of combustion by-products. The Congress proposes a forum for advanced learning through emphasis on internationally-known invited speakers, advanced scientific and engineering research presentations and an extensive poster session. This focus provides an extensive learning experience and knowledge exchange for all participants, but primarily for students, and special emphasis is placed on attracting abstracts and encouraging participation from graduate students. Other forums related to air pollution and combustion processes do not provide the specialty venue of combustion-derived air toxic pollutants from which student researchers can present and share their research while learning from other students as well as leading researchers in their field.

描述（由申请人提供）：路易斯安那州立大学建议通过路易斯安那州新奥尔良市第13届大会的管理，继续提供燃烧副产品及其健康影响国际大会的管理，路易斯安那州立大学健康科学中心作为当地组织者。燃烧和热过程的排放一直是超级基金场地和NIEHS补救的一个重要问题。近年来，由于公众的严格监督，环境保护局减少了现场控制高温焚烧作为一种补救技术的使用。然而，它经常被低温热解吸/处理和挥发材料的场外焚烧所取代。所有这些过程都导致有毒空气污染物的排放，在某些情况下比现场焚烧更严重。此外，还存在可能严重影响当地环境的意外火灾和运输火灾的风险。此外，许多超级基金场地所含废物在处置之前或处置期间部分焚烧。因此，现场的危险材料是燃烧产生的污染物，需要进行专门研究，而通常不会对最初废弃的材料进行研究。本次大会的目标是提供一个国际论坛，讨论燃烧副产品的起源，命运和健康影响的主题。大会建议通过强调国际知名的特邀演讲者，先进的科学和工程研究报告和广泛的海报会议，为先进的学习论坛。这一重点为所有参与者提供了广泛的学习经验和知识交流，但主要是为学生，并特别强调吸引摘要和鼓励研究生的参与。与空气污染和燃烧过程相关的其他论坛不提供燃烧衍生的空气有毒污染物的专业场所，学生研究人员可以在向其他学生以及该领域的领先研究人员学习的同时展示和分享他们的研究。
