AAAR 2022 – American Association for Aerosol Research

Experts and stakeholders in aerosol science of infectious diseases and indoor air quality will gather in North Carolina this October.

The 40th AAAR Annual Conference of the American Association for Aerosol Research will take place 3-7 October 2022 in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Special Symposia designed to bridge multiple areas and promote cross-disciplinary interaction will be held on the following topics:

• Biomass Combustion: outdoor/indoor transport and indoor air quality
• Aerosol Physical Chemistry and Microphysics
• Aerosol Science of Infectious Diseases: What we’ve learned and still need to know about transmission, prevention, and the one health concept
• Aerosol sources and constituents of emerging importance and their impacts across spatial scales

Highlighted topics and sessions include:

• Optimization of a Wetted Wall Cyclone for Pathogen Collection
• Impact of Chemically Reductive Trace Air Contaminants on Non-thermal Plasma Inactivation of Airborne Viruses
• Modeling of the Atmospheric Process of Cyanobacterial Toxins in Algal Aerosol
