Workshop Atmospheric Chemistry and Health
Workshop objectives identify the key scientific questions at the interface of atmospheric chemistry and air pollution health effects identify key areas in which integrated research is needed discuss the benefits for scientific research and environmental and health policy that would accrue from dealing with air pollution and atmospheric chemistry in a more integrated way
Sessions: Session 1: Modeling and Measurements relevant for estimating human health impacts Session 2: Integrated Atmospheric Chemistry and Health Session 3: Current Knowledge about the Health Effects of Air Pollution Session 4: Policy Implication
