The Texas Clean Air Conference will be held October 12-13, 2000 in Austin, Texas.

This conference will convene leaders from all sectors of the Texas community to openly and candidly discuss the major issues surrounding air emissions and their impacts on the health, economy and environment of Texas. The strengths and limitations of our scientific understanding of ozone and fine particulate matter formation will be described, and the effectiveness of current technologies for controlling mobile and stationary sources of emissions will be discussed. Finally, the potential role of new technologies in improving air quality will be assessed. The conference will consist of one and one half days of presentations and discussions.

The first half day will be spent assessing the current condition of the State and the science of air quality management in Texas. This will be followed by a half day of panel discussions on current mobile and stationary source control technologies. The conference will conclude with a discussion of innovative technologies.
