Journal Editor Gives Keynote Address in Taiwan
 Tim
Keener, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal and professor of civil and
environmental engineering at the University of Cincinnati, recently made a trip
to Taiwan where he gave the keynote address to the 19th Annual Technical
Conference of the Chinese Institute of Environmental Engineering, held at the
National University of Kaohsiung.
His presentation, "Thoughts on the Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Air
Quality," outlined ways that global climate change will affect the environment,
precipitation, water availability, air pollution control, air quality
management, and people’s lives.

Another Successful Year, Thanks to Our Peer-Reviewers
It is always our great pleasure to be able to thank the
hundreds of volunteer peer reviewers who help ensure the quality and integrity
of the Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association. We simply could
not be successful in our jobs as editors without their dedication and commitment
to unselfishly giving back to the scientific community. The January issue is
dedicated to the reviewers who contributed to the Journal in 2007.
With the number of manuscripts the Journal receives each year, we are
always in need of additional qualified reviewers. Please contact either of us
directly to become a peer reviewer for the Journal, and encourage your
colleagues to do the same.
Last year was another productive year for the Journal. We published 136
articles on a range of interesting research topics, including the 2007 Critical
Review on the history of U.S. national ambient air quality standards. (For those
who missed John Bachmann’s presentation of the review at the Annual Conference
last June,

registered the Journal with
CrossRef, a citation-linking network that will help broaden the reach of
articles published in the Journal.
In addition, we are excited to announce that, in concert with A&WMA’s 100th
anniversary last year, the Association had all back issues of the Journal
scanned into PDF format. The archived materials were added to the
A&WMA Online Library as they
became available in 2007. By the time you read this, all Journal articles
published since 1951—with a few possible exceptions—should be available for
search and download in the library.
Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to Bill
Nazaroff, Professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of
California, Berkeley, who “retired” as a Journal Associate Editor in
December after 12 years. Bill’s efforts and insights over the years are one of
the main reasons the Journal is as well respected as it is today.
