*Call for Nominations: Kong Ha Award for Excellence in Air Quality
Management in Asia 2014*


In 2008 the Clean Air Asia Partnership established the Kong Ha Award for
Excellence in Air Quality Management to honor the memory of the late Kong
Ha, who served as the chairperson of the Clean Air Initiative for Asian
Cities (Clean Air Asia) from December 2004 to April 2007.

The award serves as a tribute to persons who have a responsibility for the
formulation of air quality management related policies and their day-to-day
implementation in Asia. This, in the view of the Clean Air Asia
Partnership, is the best way to honor Kong Ha, who through his deep
commitment and knowledge, relentless enthusiasm, and strong sense of
partnership was a key person in shaping and overseeing the implementation
of mobile source emission reduction policies in Hong Kong.







The Kong Ha award for Excellence in Air Quality Management in Asia is
handed out by the Clean Air Asia Partnership in conjunction with the Better
Air Quality (BAQ) conferences of which Kong Ha, together with Wing-tat Hung
(Hong Kong Polytechnic University) and W.C. Mok of Hong Kong EPD were the
founding fathers.

*Ahmad (Puput) Safrudin* who is a key figure in the campaign for measures
to address air pollution, particularly for spearheading the phase out of
lead from gasoline in Indonesia which was successfully achieved in 2006. He
continues to monitor the implementation of these policies and played a role
in court cases that challenged the more stringent fuel quality standards.
For successfully mobilizing the public to take part in campaigns against
the use of lead in gasoline, Puput was awarded at the BAQ 2010
<http://www.baq2010.org/> Conference in Singapore.

*Dr. Mukesh Sharma* stands out in the air quality management arena as he
highlights the issues through scientific analyses and argues for changes in
policies which easily find favour with the stakeholders. One of his
greatest achievements is the inclusion of new parameters (ozone, arsenic,
nickel, benzene and benzo(a)pyrene) to the Revised National Ambient Air
Quality Standards of India in 2009. Dr. Sharma was given recognition at the BAQ
2012 <http://www.baq2012.org/> Conference in Hong Kong.


Eligible for the Kong Ha Award are persons who are working and excel on
day-to-day basis in respect to the formulation and implementation of air
quality management policies. All fields of air quality management qualify:
mobile, stationary and area sources of pollution. Potential candidates can
come from local or national government, civil society or academic or
research institutions in developing Asia. Candidates can be nominated by
