 <http://www.glc.org/glad/meetings/webinar/> Great Lakes Air Deposition
Program: Atmospheric Toxics Webinar Series


  Registration is now open for our upcoming webinar on Feb. 3, 2011! 

Jan. 20, 2011  

 



Atmospheric Toxics Webinar Series:


Background:  Over the last six years, the Great Lakes Commission
<http://www.glc.org>  (GLC), under funding from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) and in cooperation with the eight Great Lakes
states, has awarded research grants dealing with atmospheric toxic
pollutants affecting the Great Lakes and their tributary watersheds.
Thirty-five research grants <http://www.glc.org/glad/projects/>  have been
awarded since 2004 addressing a diverse array of research concerning
atmospheric pollutant loadings and movement within the basin and the
associated impacts of numerous persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT)
chemicals on wildlife and human health. A substantial amount of new
scientific knowledge has been attained through these research activities.
The GLAD webinar series is intended to provide a forum for GLAD Principal
Investigators (PIs) to disseminate information on their respective research
activities, including specific findings, recommended follow-up actions, and
potential public policy actions to foster elimination of PBT threats to the
region.

Format:  The webinar series will include around 10 sessions, scheduled to be
conducted every 2-3 weeks starting in October 2010 and running through April
2011. Each webinar will last two hours and will include a 30-minute
presentation from one to two PIs. Time will be reserved for participants to
ask questions and to engage in group dialogue on future directions and
policy approaches. This dialogue could influence future funding
opportunities under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Each webinar
will be archived for online retrieval at the GLAD website, including verbal
and written dialogue. 

Topics: 

.  Mercury research synthesis
.  Human and wildlife contaminant exposure & effects
.  Contaminant fate, transport, and loadings to the Great Lakes
.  Emissions from outdoor wood fired boilers & agricultural plastic
incineration
.  Emerging contaminants

Please join us for our next webinar:
