9th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality and Climate, Monterey, California, June 30-July 5, 2002. Abstracts of some selected articles

INDOOR AIR 2005: The 10th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality and Climate

"The next conference in the triennial Indoor Air 'xx conference series, Indoor Air 2005, will be held from September 4-9, 2005, in Beijing, China. It will continue to aim for high scientific standards in presentations and papers. The organizers have expressed their hope that the conference will provide opportunities to exchange new ideas ˇŞ helping participants both to increase their understanding of the current technologies and to advance the quality of future research. They also hope that this conference will encourage the building of active partnerships. "
