The Nanoparticle Conference in 2024 (NPC-24) is organized as an on-site conference at the ETH Zürich. It serves as an interdisciplinary platform for expert discussions on all aspects of nanoparticles, freshly emitted from various sources, transformed in ambient air, distributed on local and global scale, on technical mitigation aspects, particle legislation, and impact of particles on health, environment, and climate. The conference brings together representatives from research, industry and government.
Aerosols-24: Joint Conference on Nanoparticles and on Workplace and Indoor Aerosols
The COVID pandemic and the measures implemented to abate the release and transport of virus-containing aerosols have proven the importance of indoor exposure. We can announce that the NPC-24 will be organized together with the Workplace and Indoor Aerosols Conference (Aerosols-24). Accordingly, a focus of the joined conference will be on indoor particles and aerosols at workplaces. This part is co- organized together with the Aerosols Conference team and time is reserved on June 13 and 14, 2024.
NPC-24 Health Session
The session will provide new experimental and epidemiological results about health consequences of combustion emissions and nanoparticle exposure.
