Scientific Program Contributed papers are being solicited on the following topics: paleoatmospheric chemistry; tropical atmospheric chemistry; marine emissions and their atmospheric chemistry; global inventories of natural and anthropogenic emissions; multi-phase processes in the atmosphere; instrumental development in atmospheric chemistry. The committee will welcome contributions dealing with field and laboratory approaches as well as the description of chemical models of the atmosphere. Papers will be presented either orally or as posters. Time will be allocated for a discussion of poster topics in plenary. There will be no concurrent sessions. Deadline for submissions of abstracts is 1 April 1990. For further information please fill in the form below and send it before 1 April 1989 to: Dr Robert J.

AMERICAN
ASSOCIATION
FOR AEROSOL
RESEARCH
The American Association for Aerosol Research will hold its Eighth Annual Meeting from 9 to 13 October, 1989, at Bally’s Casino Resort in Reno, Nevada. The first day of the meeting will feature tutorials on topics of current interest to aerosol scientists and engineers. Examples of these tutorial topics include: Introduction to light scattering (Professor Milton Kerker) Computational techniques for aerosol dynamics (Dr Fred Gdlbard) In situ optical methods (Professor Robert Santoro) Application of fractal concepts to aerosol systems (Dr Dale Schaefer) Interparticle forces (Professor William Marlow) Data inversion techniques (Professor John Seinfeld) Atmospheric visibility (Dr Christine Sloane) Source receptor models (Dr John Watson) Superconductivity and aerosols (Professor David Shaw) Instrumentation for microcontamination studies (Professor David Pui) Microphysics of cloud scavenging (Dr John Hallet) Single particle identification (Dr Timothy Vander Wood). The remainder of the meeting will be dedicated to technical presentations covering all aspects of aerosol science and engineering and will feature symposia on: Contamination Control in Microelectronics Global Climatic Effects of Aerosols Indoor Air Quality and Radon Aerosols in Reacting Systems: Material Sythesis, Chemical Kinetics, Nucleation. AAAR meetings typically draw about 500 attendees from industry, universities, and government laboratories. Engineers and scientists with an interest in aerosols are encouraged to attend and to present technical papers describing their work. For information, please contact Dr Peter H. McMurry, the technical program chair, at 612/625-3345.
