The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution, Cooperative Program for Monitoring & Evaluation of the Long-Range Transmission of Air Pollutants in Europe (EMEP), in collaboration with US EPA and Environment Canada, is hosting a 3-and-1/2-day international workshop to bring together experts to review the current trends and state of science in PM measurement and modeling.

To maintain a balanced representation of Scientists from Europe and North America and facilitate a working atmosphere, workshop attendance will be limited and primarily by invitation only. The workshop will include presentations and a poster session.

Objectives:

Taking Stock, Major Insights: What have we learned recently regarding particulate matter and pm measurement and modeling? Where do we stand with measurements; where do we stand with the tools?

Means to Accountability: What do we need to be doing, implementing, or improving regarding measurements and modeling to be able to adequately assess the changing state of the atmosphere and assess the effectiveness of management actions?

Defining Critical Directions and Fruitful Complements: Where are there cost-effective targets of opportunity that can improve approaches to measurements and modeling? What new directions of investigation are considered promising to provide support in the future for decision making?

Leading questions for guiding the discussions
