Description
An International Conference on ‘Aerosols and Background Pollution’ was held on 13 – 15 June 1989 at University College Galway. Scientists from 17 countries around the world presented orally or by poster 85 papers. Contributions were invited to submit full research papers for review and publication in a special issue of Atmospheric Environment (T.C. O’Connor and S. G. Jennings, 1991).
Attendees at the Conference are shown in Picture 1, with names given below. After the Conference, some thirty-six Conference attendees visited the Mace Head Atmospheric Research Station, a picture of whom was taken in front of the Shore Laboratory, and shown in Picture 2 with names given below. Shown in that picture is Mairéad Nic Dhonncha, 2nd from the left in the 4th row, who ably helped in the administration of the Conference. She worked in Oifig na gCuntas (where she used hand out our eagerly awaited scholarship cheques!) and then in the Library, and was a sister of Máire Uí Bhreasail (Brazil), also in Oifig na gCuntas (Private communication: Séamus Mac Mathúna)
