Meeting the Challenges
of Particulate Matter Air Pollution: EPA’s PM Research Centers
Tuesday, September 28, 2004 · Hotel
Washington · 515 15th Street, NW, Washington DC
PM Centers and EPA present and discuss recent research
results
9:00
Welcome
9:05 - 11:05
Theme: Particle toxicity and mechanisms What
characteristics of particles produce toxicity – size, composition,
interactive effects, nature of the matrix, primary v. secondary? What
is the relationship between mode of formation and toxicity? Can we
reach some preliminary conclusions about mechanisms?
Centers
each provide 20 minute presentations addressing some aspects of
these questions. Each followed by 10 minute discussion.
