2005 Particulate Matter BOSC Review
EPA's Particulate Matter (PM) Research Program was reviewed by a Board of Scientific Counselors (BOSC) in Spring 2005. The objective of the review was to evaluate the PM program's quality, relevance, performance, and scientific leadership. EPA relies on such evaluations to help ensure that its research programs are making significant progress and that the outcomes of its research are used to support sound environmental decision making.
HEASD researchers are major participants in the PM Research Program. The links on this page represent the HEASD Work presented at the BOSC review. In addition to the HEASD information below, all of the 2005 BOSC PM Review Materials are available.
