Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:46:23 -0700 Subject: arbcombo -- ARB Research Seminar: Risk of Pediatric Asthma Morbidity from Multipollutant Exposures From: tclarksj@arb.ca.gov “Risk of Pediatric Asthma Morbidity from Multipollutant Exposures”. Ralph Delfino, Ph.D., and Michael Kleeman, Ph.D. University of California, Irvine/Davis Tuesday, April 7, 2015 1:30 pm, PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Little is known about the impact of primary and secondary organic aerosols (POA and SOA) on risk of acute asthma morbidity. We evaluated whether these important characteristics of particulate matter are associated with hospital encounters (emergency department visits and hospital admissions) for pediatric asthma. We hypothesized that traffic-related concentrations of ultrafine particles near subject homes and related estimates of exposure to POA are associated with asthma morbidity, and that these associations are additive with O3 and SOA. Finally, we evaluated air pollution susceptibility, including recurrent asthma, socioeconomic status, and race-ethnicity. This is a case-crossover analysis in which subjects acted as their own control in a conditional logistic regression model adjusted for confounders.

Kent Pinkerton, Ph.D., Keith Bein, Ph.D., Fern Tablin, V.M.D., Ph.D., University of California, Davis Wednesday, May 27, 2015 1:30 pm, PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California The overall objective of this work was to better elucidate the toxic and inflammatory potential of urban and rural particulate matter (PM) from the Central Valley on a suite of pulmonary, vascular and systemic endpoints in a mouse model. Specifically, mice received one intratrachael aspiration exposure to PM2.5, and effects were evaluated at post-exposure times of 1, 2 and 4 days to explore the temporal nature of different biological responses. PM2.5 samples were collected in a rural part of Davis that is surrounded by agricultural land and an urban part of downtown Sacramento near a major freeway interchange in order to obtain a comparison between the health effects elicited by PM that has different source mixtures.

The Haagen-Smit Clean Air Award is named for the late Dr. Arie Haagen-Smit – known as the “father of air pollution science and control.” Awards recognize those who continue Haagen-Smit’s work through perseverance, leadership and innovation in the areas of research, environmental policy, science and technology, public education and community service. Wednesday, June 24, 2015 2:30 pm, PST (WEBCAST - link info below) Coastal Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Each of three award recipients will give an abbreviated, 20-minute, talk: Cooking Health & Climate: The Surprisingly Large Impacts of Humanity’s Oldest Daily Task – Donald Blake, professor of chemistry at the University of California Irvine, has carried out internationally acclaimed measurements of atmospheric volatile organic compounds that have provided critical insights into their roles in air pollution and climate change. Learn about his research showing how elevated air pollution in some cities, such as Mexico City, can be attributed to propane use and cooking emissions rather than traffic pollution. Household Air Pollution & Impacts on Women and Children – Kirk R. Smith, Professor of Global Environmental Health at the University of California Berkeley, holds visiting professorships in India and China, where he works to bring clean air to all people, particularly those who suffer from high exposures to smoke from traditional cookstoves using biomass and coal fuels. His research was critical to the development of the global burden of disease estimate that 4 million people die prematurely from household fuel combustion each year and in helping trigger the first recognition of the importance of air pollution within health ministries. Advances in Diesel Technologies & Worldwide Implementation – John Wall, Vice President and Chief Technical Officer for diesel engine manufacturer Cummins, Inc., has played a leadership role in the development and implementation of all the major technology advancements ultimately leading to the near-zero levels of emissions of particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen from engines. He has consistently taken a proactive environmentally conscious position for the diesel industry throughout his career. Learn about the latest advancements in diesel emissions and what they mean for public health and the world. The public is invited to this free event.

From: hchoi@arb.ca.gov The closing date for 2015 Haagen-Smit Clean Air Award nominations is December 1, 2015. If you know someone in the air quality community – scientists, professors, legislators, activists, business leaders, and others – who has made a significant lifetime achievement, you can nominate them for an award by completing a nomination form. The form, as well as more information on the Haagen-Smit Clean Air Awards, and previous recipients, can be found at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/hsawards Since 2001, the California Air Resources Board has annually bestowed the distinguished Haagen-Smit Clean Air Awards to extraordinary individuals for their significant career accomplishments in at least one of these air quality categories: research, environmental policy, science and technology, public education and community service. Over the past 14 years there have been 40 acclaimed recipients. In light of the global connection between air quality and climate change, the scope of the program has expanded to include an international focus and a focus on climate change science and mitigation.
