 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（由申请人提供）：国际燃烧副产品及其健康影响大会有着汇集环境科学各个学科的学者和研究人员的悠久传统，它的设计为交流思想和知识提供了一个独特的平台。和来自环境科学不同学科的经验，以推进对与燃烧和热过程相关的最新和相关问题的看法，这代表了与超级基金场地修复相关的重大环境和健康问题，对环境至关重要。超级基金研究计划。近年来，由于公众的强烈监督，美国环保署减少了现场控制高温焚烧，并代之以低温热解吸/处理和场外焚烧。所有这些过程都会导致有毒物质的排放。就本次大会而言，低温解吸/处理通常比现场焚烧更糟糕，并且包括在处理过程中意外或有意发生的所有形式的热反应。它包括催化氧化、热解吸过程和焚烧，还包括其他燃烧/热反应，包括能源生产和生物质/燃料燃烧。燃烧副产品的起源、归宿和健康影响及其对环境和健康的影响是科学家、政府官员和利益相关者组成的不同学科小组关注的焦点。这些人从不同的角度讨论主题，并有不同的终点，但他们有一个共同的目标——了解污染物形成的机制及其对健康/环境的影响，并设计出更好的技术来减少燃烧过程中污染物的形成。它独特地鼓励不同科学家之间的交流，以确保更好地理解新出现的问题以及有据可查的问题，这对于增进我们对这个多样化领域的理解至关重要。积极培育年轻一代发展通过促进研究人员和受训人员与这个不同领域的杰出研究人员之间的互动，我们请求财政支持，以支付四名（六名）受邀世界知名人士的旅费。 这些科学家将在大会全体会议上分享他们的知识、经验和前沿科学成果，邀请知名科学家为科学会议和晚宴/交流会议期间的深入讨论提供基础，并作为教学的增强。对于会议，特别是对于初级研究人员和学员。
