Extramural Research

Agenda

EPA STAR-OTAQ Transportation Emissions Research Forum

March 4-3, 2014
National Vehicle & Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan

Agenda

Please join us for a STAR research progress review on projects related to emissions from engines and the transportation sector.  This meeting will hosted by EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality in Ann Arbor, Michigan. These presentations will focus on emissions of gas-phase and aerosol species, their chemical and optical properties, and their impacts on air quality.

For more details on the STAR grants, see: Novel Approaches to Improving Air Pollution Emissions Information and Black Carbon’s Role In Global To Local Scale Climate And Air Quality.

View EPA's National Vehicle & Fuel Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL) for more details.
