SUMMARY:Air Pollution and Health: New Research Perspectives for a Growing G
 lobal Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Air pollution is a crisis with global impact: 92% of the world’
 s population lives in places where air quality levels exceed WHO limits and
  3 million deaths a year are linked to exposure to outdoor air pollution. T
 he resulting three main health challenges are: (i) on-site-measurements to 
 determine the true exposure situation, (ii) population-based epidemiologica
 l studies to identify the resulting health effects and (iii) mechanistic st
 udies on air pollution-induced health damage in order to be able to develop
  tailored preventive strategies. In order to be effective, it is crucial th
 at all three challenges are tackled at the same time in an integrated resea
 rch approach. Because of their specific socio-economical situation, differe
 nt countries, however, have very different priorities when it comes to meet
  these challenges. The goal of this symposium is therefore to foster intern
 ational exchange and collaborations between scientists from South Africa, B
 RIC States and Germany in an attempt to overcome these differences.\n\nThe 
 scientific coordinators of the symposium are Professor Jean Krutmann ML, Sc
 ientific Manager of the Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medici
 ne, Düsseldorf, Germany, on the side of Leopoldina; and on the side of ASSA
 f, Dr Caradee Wright, Specialist Scientist at the South African Medical Res
 earch Council, Johannesburg, South Africa.\n\nIn 2015, the Leopoldina and t
 he Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) initiated a joint series on e
 nvironment and health. The upcoming symposium is the second event within th
 is series and it takes place in cooperation with the Leibniz Research Insti
 tute for Environmental Medicine, Düsseldorf.\n\n*ML - Member of the Leopold
