The 13th International Congress on Combustion By-Products and their Health Effects was held in New Orleans, Louisiana from May 15 to 18, 2013. The congress, sponsored by the Superfund Research Program, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and National Science Foundation, brought together international academic and government researchers, engineers, scientists, and policymakers. With industrial growth, increased power needs and generation and coal consumption and their concomitant emissions, pernicious health effects associated with exposures to these emissions are on the rise. This congress provides a unique platform for interdisciplinary exchange and discussion of these topics. The formation, conversion, control, and health effects of combustion by-products, including particulate matter and associated heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and environmentally persistent free radicals, were discussed during the congress. This review will summarize and discuss the implications of the data presented.
第十三届燃烧副产物及其对健康影响国际大会于2013年5月15日至18日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良市举行。该大会由超级基金研究计划、国家环境卫生科学研究所和国家科学基金会赞助，汇聚了国际学术和政府研究人员、工程师、科学家及政策制定者。随着工业增长、电力需求与发电量增加、煤炭消耗及其伴随的排放，与接触这些排放相关的有害健康影响正在上升。本次大会为跨学科交流和讨论这些主题提供了一个独特的平台。大会期间讨论了燃烧副产物的形成、转化、控制及其对健康的影响，包括颗粒物及相关重金属、持久性有机污染物和环境持久性自由基。本综述将总结并讨论所呈现数据的意义。
