Five Years of PM Research Progress Webinar: EPA, Office of Research and Development
Dec. 15, 2:00 - 3:30pm EST
One Atmosphere: The Intersection of Air Quality and Climate
Speaker: Dan Costa, Sc.D., National Program Director for Air research, EPA Office of Research and Development, and Ian Gilmour, Ph.D., Chief (acting), Cardiopulmonary and Immunotoxicology Branch
EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) supports clean air research that puts new tools and information in the hands of air quality managers and regulators to protect the air we breathe. EPA studies have shown that tiny particles released when fossil fuels are burned harm the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. These particles are especially harmful to the most vulnerable populations: the young, older adults and those with pre-existing health conditions. Future research around air quality, climate, and energy is needed.
EPA is moving forward with a "multipollutant" approach to air pollution research and an important series of studies near high-traffic roads. EPA will continue investigations of how climate change will impact the air we breathe, with a focus on protecting current and future generations from air pollution health risks.
