Air Resources Board seeks nominations for premier California
clean air and climate award

2014 Haagen-Smit Clean Air Awards recognize air quality
achievements in environmental policy, science and research

SACRAMENTO – The California Air Resources Board is accepting
applications for the 2014 Haagen-Smit Clean Air Awards. The
awards are annually bestowed upon scientists, policy makers,
community leaders and educators who have made outstanding
contributions to the advancement of clean air and climate change
science, technology and policy.

“The Haagen-Smit awards give California the opportunity to
recognize individuals who have championed public health with
extraordinary contributions to air pollution and climate change
science and policy,” ARB Chairman Mary D. Nichols said. “Their
work saves lives around the globe and the Haagen-Smit Award is
our way of saying ‘thank you’ to these extraordinary policy
makers, scientists and researchers.”

California’s premier air quality award is named for the late Dr.
Arie Haagen-Smit, known as the “father” of air pollution science
and control. The award recognizes those who continue his work
through perseverance, leadership and innovation in the areas of
research, environmental policy, science and technology, public
education and community service. The selection committee is
comprised of past award winners.

Dr. Haagen-Smit, originally from the Netherlands, was a
biochemistry professor at the California Institute of Technology
in Pasadena for 16 years before beginning air pollution research
in 1948. Through a series of innovative experiments he
demonstrated that most of California’s smog is the result of
motor vehicle exhaust and industrial smokestack pollution
reacting with sunlight to create ground-level ozone. This
breakthrough provided the foundation for the development of air
pollution control programs in California that later influenced
regulations and vehicle technology worldwide. 

The 2014 Haagen-Smit Clean Air Awards nomination period is
between Oct. 1, 2014, and Dec. 1, 2014.
