Agenda, Presentations and Posters of the 27^th Conference

27^th ETH Nanoparticles Conference (NPC-24) and Aerosols-24 Conference, June 10-14, 2024

The ETH Nanoparticle Conference (NPC-24) was organized in 2024 as a joined on-site event together with the Workplace and Indoor Aerosols Conference (Aerosols-24) at the ETH Zurich under the auspice of the Swiss Chemical Society (see website of the online conference, https://npc24.scg.ch).

The Nanoparticle Conference 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.
