Welcome to COST297 -COST297 - ‘HAPCOS’ represents an active group of people from academia, industry and governments, dealing with HAPs and their applications. It catalyses research activity, and helps provide cohesion among the community. We have members from 20 European countries, and active participation from across the world.The Action commenced in 2005. At this time, it was clear that HAPs were an emerging topic of considerable potential, but there was little cohesion among disparate research and development activities; there was also much confusion surrounding the regulatory aspects. Since then we have been very successful in bringing people together, and helping to provide some consensus and engender a positive approach. We have held a number of meetings, with our activities structured within three Working Groups (see below). COST297 also supports other activities such as Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) for the exchange of (mainly young) researchers. As we approach the end of our Action, we are preparing our Final Output, which will be a book. We have one more main meeting, which is planned to include a public Workshop, 19 - 21 October 2009 in Avignon France. All those interested in HAPs and their applications are welcome at the Working Group sessions attached to our meetings; please contract the WG Chairs, listed below. Or contact the Chair [tct@ohm.york.ac.uk] directly. Use of the websiteWe hope these web pages will be a valuable resource for everyone concerned with HAPs and their applications.
