This is the first Air Pollution Workshop to be held in Europe and will be part of a joint conference with IUFRO, COST and ENVeurope. On one day of the conference, the Workshop will provide an informal forum for presentations and discussions of current research, monitoring, and issues pertaining to air quality effects on forests, agricultural crops, and natural ecosystems.

The joint International Conference will facilitate contacts, enhance new collaboration, and stimulate intellectual exchanges amongst the researchers throughout the world.
