Bio: Husar is the director of Washington University's Center for Air Pollution Impact, Trends and Analysis (CAPITA), the world's largest private library of air pollution literature and computerized statistics. CAPITA spans more than 100 years of American pollution and energy consumption. Using CAPITA data, Husar has made many important contributions to air quality studies involving acid rain, aerosols and haze. Recently, Husar has organized a World Wide Web site on ozone with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, an accomplishment that changes the way air pollution studies are being done by making the research open to the public and inviting public participation.
