Incomplete combustion processes can emit organic pollutants, metals, and fine particles. Combustion by-products represent global human and environmental health challenges that are relevant not only in heavily industrialized nations, but also in developing nations where up to 90% of rural households rely on unprocessed biomass fuels for cooking, warmth, and light. These issues were addressed at the Seventh International Congress on Combustion By-Products, which convened 4-6 June 2001 in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. This congress included a diverse group of multidisciplinary researchers and practitioners who discussed recent developments and future goals in the control of combustion by-products and their effects of exposure on human and ecologic health. Participants recommended that interdisciplinary, coordinated research efforts should be focused to capitalize on the important potential synergisms between efforts to reduce the adverse human health effects linked to exposures to combustion by-products and broader efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save energy through efficiency. In this article we summarize the principal findings and recommendations for research focus and direction.
不完全燃烧过程会排放有机污染物、金属和细颗粒物。燃烧副产品给全球人类和环境健康带来了挑战，这不仅在工业化程度高的国家存在，在发展中国家也同样如此，在这些国家，高达90%的农村家庭依靠未加工的生物质燃料做饭、取暖和照明。2001年6月4日至6日在北卡罗来纳州三角研究园召开的第七届国际燃烧副产品大会讨论了这些问题。本次大会汇聚了众多不同学科的研究人员和从业者，他们探讨了燃烧副产品控制方面的最新进展以及未来目标，以及接触这些副产品对人类和生态健康的影响。与会者建议，跨学科的协调研究工作应集中精力，利用在减少与接触燃烧副产品相关的不良人类健康影响的努力与通过提高效率减少温室气体排放和节约能源的更广泛努力之间重要的潜在协同效应。在本文中，我们总结了主要研究结果以及对研究重点和方向的建议。
