Learn about real-world air pollution problems and innovative
solutions from three individuals who will be bestowed with
California’s premier air quality award for their career
contributions. The Haagen-Smit Clean Air Award is named for the
late Dr. Arie Haagen-Smit – known as the “father of air pollution
science and control.” Awards recognize those who continue
Haagen-Smit’s work through perseverance, leadership and
innovation in the areas of research, environmental policy,
science and technology, public education and community service.

Coastal Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building
1001 I Street, Sacramento, California
 
Each of three award recipients will give an abbreviated,
20-minute, talk: 
  
Cooking Health & Climate: The Surprisingly Large Impacts of
Humanity’s Oldest Daily Task – Donald Blake, professor of
chemistry at the University of California Irvine, has carried out
internationally acclaimed measurements of atmospheric volatile
organic compounds that have provided critical insights into their
roles in air pollution and climate change. Learn about his
research showing how elevated air pollution in some cities, such
as Mexico City, can be attributed to propane use and cooking
emissions rather than traffic pollution.

Household Air Pollution & Impacts on Women and Children – Kirk R.
Smith, Professor of Global Environmental Health at the University
of California Berkeley, holds visiting professorships in India
and China, where he works to bring clean air to all people,
particularly those who suffer from high exposures to smoke from
traditional cookstoves using biomass and coal fuels. His research
was critical to the development of the global burden of disease
estimate that 4 million people die prematurely from household
fuel combustion each year and in helping trigger the first
recognition of the importance of air pollution within health
ministries.

Advances in Diesel Technologies & Worldwide Implementation – 
John Wall, Vice President and Chief Technical Officer for diesel
engine manufacturer Cummins, Inc., has played a leadership role
in the development and implementation of all the major technology
advancements ultimately leading to the near-zero levels of
emissions of particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen from
engines. He has consistently taken a proactive environmentally
conscious position for the diesel industry throughout his career.
 Learn about the latest advancements in diesel emissions and what
they mean for public health and the world.
