[Stoves] Evidence of carcinogenicity/toxicity in emission from rice straw pellet gasification

[kimoanh]

Dear Tuong:

Thanks for sharing  with us the info on your research on rice straw 
derived fuels. Our research group also has a focus on this topic.  We 
are organizing a national workshop of PEER-SEA 
(http://www.PEER.ait.ac.th) in Hanoi during June 30-July 1, 2014. I 
myself and Prof. Hopke with colleagues from AIT and other regional 
research partners in Indonesia and Vietnam will be at the workshop. The 
local participants include policy makers and researchers from Vietnam.

Please let me know if we can have a short meeting in Hanoi during the 
workshop period. If you are interested in attending the workshop we will 
send an invitation letter soon.

Warmest regards,
