Scope and Objective

The objective of this project is to bring together key individuals and organizations working on current issues on mobile source air toxics.

Current Status and Future Program

The Atmospheric Impacts Committee hosted the CRC Mobile Source Air Toxics Workshop in Phoenix in 2006 as a follow-up to the first two workshops held in Scottsdale in 2004 and in Houston in 2002.  As with the two previous events, this workshop brought together key government, academic and industry researchers, and stakeholders working in this area.

The 2006 Air Toxics Workshop (A-45a) program was developed with the aid of consultant Dr. Steve Japar, the workshop development co-chairs, Drs. Jim Ball and Dan Baker, and representatives from EPA, CARB, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), API, SCAQMD, NREL, NESCAUM, DRI, and NUATRC (National Urban Air Toxics Research Center) as members of the workshop organizing committee. The Workshop was held October 23-25, 2006, at the Hyatt Regency in Phoenix, AZ.  Co-chairs at the workshop were Rory MacArthur and Jim Ball.  The proceedings of the meeting were distributed to participants in January 2007.

The 2008 workshop program will be held December 1-3, 2008 in Phoenix, AZ, with support from the organizing team assembled to manage the previous workshops.  Dr. Japar is leading this effort under contract to CRC.  Participation of the organizing panel members has been excellent this year.  A call for papers was issued in April.
