EPA's Particulate Matter Research Program

The EPA Science Forum 2006: Your Health, Your Environment, Your Future was held in Washington, DC May 16-18, 2006. This exciting event brought top scientists and policy-makers together to explore how collaborative science and research are leading the effort to better understand environmental challenges, and provide effective tools for helping the EPA meet its mission: protecting human health and safeguarding the natural environment.

Poster Categories

Disease Susceptibility & the Environment
Global Challenges
The Built Environment

The poster abstracts and posters about EPA's Clean Air Research presented at the 2006 Science Forum are linked below in PDF format along. Contact information is available in the Poster Abstracts.

Note: Since the poster PDF files were created to be printed as posters, some of the files are very large. Please note the file sizes. The poster abstracts are single pages and file sizes range beetween 8 - 12 KB. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more about PDF, and for a link to the free Acrobat Reader.
