Invitation to the 25th Conference, 2022
25th ETH-Conference on Combustion Generated Nanoparticles
June 21-23, 2022, online
Focus Event: New Legislation to Guide the World
Conference Website: https://npc22.scg.ch
The ETH-Conference on Combustion Generated Nanoparticles (#ETHNPC2022) is in 2022 again organized as an online conference under the auspice of the Swiss Chemical Society. It serves as an interdisciplinary platform for expert discussions on all aspects of nanoparticles, freshly emitted from various sources, aged in ambient air, technical mitigation aspects, impact of particles on health, environment and climate and particle legislation. The conference brings together representatives from research, industry and legislation.
Conference Topics
- Aircraft, marine and other non-road sources
- Ambient air particles, secondary pollutants
- Biomass-, biofuel- and synfuel combustion
- Brake- and tyre-wear, non-combustion emissions
- Emission control of combustion engines
- Emission upgrade and PTI for in-use vehicles
- Environmental and health effects
- Exhaust aftertreatment systems
- Future legislation and enforcement
- Impact on climate
- Nanoparticle formation and transformation
- Nanoparticle metrology and chemical characterization
- Nanoparticle chemistry and toxicology
- Occupational exposure and prevention
Focus Event: New Legislation to Guide the World
The World Health Organization air quality guidelines, European vehicle and engine legislation, national clean air acts, and periodic technical inspection (PTI) legislation have become key elements of international and national clean air policy. With no doubt, the implementation of catalytic converter technologies and better fuels, compatible with such technologies, were major steps to reduce emissions of combustion engines.
The 2022 focus event will discuss the next legislative steps to take and the challenges to tackle with new fuels and new engine and vehicle technologies, to further reduce the impact of air pollution on health and global warming.
Health Session
The health session will focus on the effects of aircraft-/airport and wood smoke/wildfire related emissions.
e-Papers and e-Posters
