TIME TO PREPARE FOR SOUTH AFRICA……….

KEY FACTS AT YOUR FINGER TIPS

Date and Venue

The regional conference in South Africa, hosted by South Africa’s National Association for Clean Air, will be held 1-3 October 2008 in Nelspruit, a leading resort on the edge of the beautiful, exotic Kruger National Park. The annual IUAPPA Board meeting will be held on Tuesday, 30 September.

Travel

International travellers can most conveniently fly into the nearby Kruger Mpumalanga Airport. There are regular scheduled services from Johannesburg and (less frequently) Capetown.

Timetable

Abstracts of papers for presentation should be submitted by June 20th. The date for submission of papers is 15 August. See the NACA website for more details.

Themes and Programme

The titles of the sessions and themes of the conference include regional air quality, urban air quality, air quality management in the developing world, climate change and co-benefits, new developments in air quality science, particulate matter, air quality and human health, and air quality reporting for public information.

There will be a strong focus on air quality management in South Africa and the developing world generally, but this will be set in a broad international context so papers from Europe and North America are particularly welcome.

Social Programme and Excursions

As well as the Ice-Breaker reception there is a Gala Dinner which promises to be a spectacular occasion. There will be a partners programme and a variety of post-Conference tours will be available.
