50 years of activity to protect humans and the environment - recent research connecting aerosol and climate

Looking towards future challenges, the Clean Air Commission celebrates the 50th anniversary of its foundation in 1962. New research work on the interaction of aerosol and climate and their relationship to human health will be presented.
Your discussion partners will be:

At the occasion of its 50th anniversary the Clean Air Commission of the Austrian Academy of Sciences invites to a festive event of presentations

Tuesday, December 4, 2012, at 3 p.m. the "Theatersaal" will see the following presentations:

• Aerosole-Wolken-Klima (Ulrike Lohmann, ETH Zurich, Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science)
• "Advances of Atmospheric Aerosol Research in Austria" publiziert in der Schriftenreihe Interdisciplinary Perspectives (Hans Puxbaum und Wilfried Winiwarter, KRL)
• Gesundheitseffekte von Luftschadstoffen und von Lufttemperatur (Alexandra Schneider, Inst. für Epidemiologie II, Helmholtz Zentrum München)

The compendium "Advances of Atmospheric Aerosol Research in Austria" is now volume 2 in the series "Interdisciplinary Perspectives"

"Interdisciplinary Perspectives" are a common series of the Austrian Acedemy of Sciences' Clean Air Commission together with the Commission for Interdisciplinary Ecological Studies. This volume brings together contributions from members of the Clean Air Commission Band to demonstrate the high scientific level maintained in research related to atmospheric aerosols in Austria. The individual papers cover all major topics - from the release of fine particles, measurement techniques, to chemical and physical properties. Likewise, aerosol impacts to human health as well as to climate are being discussed. The volume will be introduced to the gerneral public at the occasion of the Clean Ai Commissions 50th anniversyry event.
