Asheville, NC
Since the first meeting, held at Penn State University in 1969, plant scientists with interest in air pollution effects to all forms of vegetation and natural ecosystems have met each year at various locations around the USA, Canada and Mexico for the Air Pollution Workshop. Participants are from research programs within universities, Agricultural Experiment Stations, and federal agencies such as the US EPA, USDA and the National Park Service. In addition, many state and local officials have attended meetings when held nearby to their offices. A strong contingent of European and Asian colleagues with interests in air pollution and vegetation effects have attended the Workshops.
The 42nd Air Pollution Workshop will be held in Asheville, North Carolina, from April 12-14, 2010. The workshop will be hosted by Steve McNulty, USDA Forest Service, and David Grantz, University of California-Riverside. There will be a guided field trip on Thursday, April 15, 2010 along the Blue Ridge Parkway to Mt. Mitchell State Park and Grandfather Mountain Nature Preserve.
The Air Pollution Workshop provides an informal setting for presentations and discussions of current research topics and issues on various aspects of air pollution effects on agricultural crops, forests and ecosystems. In recent years, issues related to climate change effects have become part of the scope of the Workshop. The regional effects of pollutants, especially ozone, nitrogen deposition and particulate matter, are topics of particular interest. In addition, issues related to evaluation of risks associated with air pollution in natural systems have become part of the most recent Workshop discussions.
Each year the Workshop consists of a few general sessions with topics of broad interest along with several smaller sessions on specific topics. The topics selected for the final program are based upon input from Workshop participants planning to attend. The 42nd Air Pollution Workshop Program will be chaired by David Grantz and Steve McNulty. Please contact them with your suggestions regarding the Workshop program.
A 9-member committee is responsible for directing the workshop's activities. For additional information, please visit our Introduction web page.
