Oral

The purpose of this session is to listen to new, important locally/community-based research projects from various parts of the USA--urban and rural, continental and island--concerning outdoor air pollution from natural (like volcanos) and anthropogenic sources (like motor vehicles and industry) and potential acute cardiovascular and respiratory health effects.

Session Objectives: After attending this session, attendees will be able to identify natural and anthropogenic sources of outdoor air pollutants; name specific combustion pollutants subject to federal and state regulation; describe susceptible and vulnerable population subgroups including potential environmental (in) justice issues.
