About the Haagen-Smit Clean Air Awards: 
The prestigious Haagen-Smit awards are given annually to those
who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of clean
air, climate change, technology and related policies. Considered
to be California’s premiere air quality award, it is named for
the late Dr. Arie Haagen-Smit, known as the “father” of air
pollution science and control. The award recognizes those who
have followed in his footsteps to advance efforts toward clean
air goals.

Background:

The Haagen-Smit Clean Air Awards have been presented since 2001.
Winners have ranged from research scientists to educators to
public agency administrators. Awardees are selected by a
committee of former winners. For a list of all past award
