 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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. Combustion and thermal processes represent significant environmental and health concerns associated with the remediation of Superfund sites and are of critical importance to the Superfund Research Program. On-site, controlled high-temperature incineration has been reduced by EPA in recent years due to intense public scrutiny and replaced by low temperature thermal desorption/treatment and off-site incineration. 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. Combustion, in terms of this Congress, is used liberally and includes all forms of thermal reactions that occur either accidentally or intentionally during processes to remediate wastes at Superfund sites. It includes catalytic oxidation, thermal desorption processes, and incineration. It also includes other combustion/thermal reactions including energy production and biomass/fuel burning. 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. Combustion borne pollutants and their environmental and health impacts are the focus of distinct disciplinary groups of scientists, government officials, and stakeholders. Although these individuals approach these topics from different perspectives and have different endpoints, these individuals share a common goal - to understand the mechanisms of pollutant formation and their health/environmental effects and devise better technologies to reduce pollutant formation during combustion processes. This meeting is unique in that it brings this multidisciplinary group of individuals together to focus o 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. With this proposal we are requesting financial support to cover the travel expenses of four (out of six) invited world-renown scholars. These scientists will share their knowledge, experience and cutting-edge scientific results at the plenary sessions of the Congress. The invitation of renowned scientists provides a basis for deep discussions both during the scientific sessions and dinner/networking sessions and serves as instructional enhancement for the conference, particularly for the junior researchers and trainees.

 描述（由适用提供）：国际燃烧副产品大会及其健康影响具有悠久的传统，即将各种环境科学学科的学者和研究人员汇集在一起​​。通过设计，它为环境科学不同学科的思想，知识和经验提供了一个独特的平台，以提高与燃烧相关的最新和相关问题的看法。燃烧和热过程代表了与超级基金站点的修复相关的重要环境和健康问题，并且对超级基金研究计划至关重要。近年来，EPA由于严格的公众审查而被EPA降低了现场，受控的高温感染，并由低温热解吸/治疗和异地感染取代。所有这些过程导致有毒空气污染物的排放，而低温解吸/处理通常比现场感染更糟。就该国会而言，燃烧被自由地使用，其中包括所有形式的热反应，这些反应是在过程中偶然或故意发生的，以补救超级基金地点的废物。它还包括其他组合/热反应，包括能源生产和生物量/燃料燃烧。该国会的目的是提供一个国际论坛，讨论有关副产品组合起源，命运和健康影响的主题。燃烧生产污染物及其环境和健康影响是不同学科的科学家，政府官员和利益相关者的重点。尽管这些人从不同的角度处理这些主题，并且具有不同的终点，但这些人有一个共同的目标 - 了解污染物形成的机制及其健康/环境效应，并设计了更好的技术以减少混合过程中污染物的形成。这次会议是独一无二的，因为它使这个多学科的个人团体聚集在一起，以这些问题为重点。它独特地鼓励潜水员之间的沟通，以确保更好地了解新兴问题以及有记录的问题，这对于我们对这一潜水员领域的理解至关重要。最重要的是，国会通过促进他们与这个潜水员领域的有成就的研究人员之间的互动来积极护理年轻研究人员和学员的发展。通过此提案，我们要求财政支持，以支付四项（六分之六的）邀请的世界享受的旅行费用 学者。这些科学家将在国会的全体会议上分享他们的知识，经验和尖端的科学成果。著名科学家的邀请为科学会议和晚餐/网络会议期间进行了深入讨论的邀请为会议的教学增强了，特别是对于初级研究人员和培训。
