The Christopher Ernest Barthel Jr Award
Dr. Christopher Barthel was instrumental in founding IUAPPA in
1964 and served as its President from 1966-70. He was also a member
of the Board of Directors of the US Air Pollution Control Association
(now Air and Waste Management Association) from 1968-71 and in 1977
was made an Honorary Member of A&WMA.
The Christopher Ernest Barthel Award was established by the International
Board of IUAPPA at its meeting on 24 October 1980 at Buenos Aires,
Argentina.
The Award may be made to an individual whose contributions of a
civic nature, whether administrative, legislative or judicial, have
aided substantially in the abatement of air pollution.
Eligibility for the Award requires a sincere and constant effort
of an individual over a period of time to develop or increase interest
or acceptance of the cause of international air pollution control
for the betterment of man’s environment. The Award is made to that
individual who, through unselfish interest and in a manner best
suited for his own sources, has furthered the cause of international
air pollution control; it is not limited to any specific area of
endeavour.
Anyone nominated for the Christopher Ernest Barthel Jr Award should
have attained wide prominence and be well known for their interest
in air pollution control.
