The National Center for Vehicle Emissions Control and Safety (NCVECS) at Colorado State University (CSU) has been hosting the Clean Air Conference Since 1984. This Conference has traditionally focused on ambient air quality conditions, especially as related to mobile source air quality. To kick off the 26th year of the Conference, NCVECS is partnering with the Institute for the Built Environment (IBE), also at CSU, and the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ). The 2010 theme will include an investigation of the continuum of indoor and outdoor air and the resulting health and environmental consequences.
