Dallas Burtraw, Senior Fellow at Resources for the Future, will present "Integrated assessment of science and economics applied to air pollution and the Adirondacks," Wednesday, Oct. 8, at 8 p.m. in the Chemistry Auditorium. The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is part of The Arthur Levitt Public Affairs Center lecture series "The Environment: Public Policy and Social Responsibility."
Burtraw will address electric power's impact on pollution and how it can be restructured.

Recently, his work has focused on tradable emission permits, acid rain and valuing resource improvements in the Adirondacks.
