Wind Environment Resolutions, Korea, 2010

The resolutions prepared by the group on “Wind Environment” are given below:

Resolution 1.

APEC-WW/WG of Wind Environment will exchange further information on outdoor air pollutants according to the format prepared (Appendix-I). Remaining countriesshould send the above information to Professor Ajay Gairola bythe end of January 2011, it will be summarized/checked by the end of February 2011 and sent to all the participating countries for their feedback.
