Webinar Workshop to Review Initial Draft Materials for the Particulate Matter (PM) Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) for Health and Welfare Effects

The online webinars are designed to solicit input from subject matter experts on the scope and content of draft sections of the ISA on discipline-specific topics related to atmospheric chemistry (e.g., ambient concentrations, measurements, and modeling), exposure assessment, health effects, and welfare effects (i.e., visibility impairment, materials damage, climate effects, and ecological effects) of PM. Webinar panelists will include scientists representing a variety of areas of expertise, such as air quality, exposure assessment, experimental sciences, epidemiology, climate, and ecology. Detailed agendas and panel discussion questions will be provided prior to the webinars.
