Air quality

Building off the momentum gathered during the nine previous meetings, this year’s vapor intrusion specialty conference will bring together internationally-recognized scientists, engineers, regulators, and attorneys to share research and solutions on the latest developments in the investigation and mitigation of the vapor intrusion (VI) pathway, including indicators and tracers, toxicology, risk assessment, sampling and laboratory analysis, as well as the newly-added topic of emerging contaminants. The conference will be held virtually on September 23-24, 2021.

This conference provides extensive coverage of all aspects of air measurement methodologies including associated quality assurance protocols and how to use and interpret data. Sessions will also focus on current hot topics including emerging contaminants such as PFAS, low-cost sensors, next generation emissions monitoring (NGEM), and airborne measurements to assess impacts from wildfires. This conference includes a vendor exhibit with 30 booths, courses, a reception, and plenty of networking opportunities.

This international conference will provide a technical forum on advances in the scientific understanding of the effects of aerosols on urban, regional, continental, and global-scale haze and the radiative balance. New topics include biomass burning and the effects of wildfire, impacts on visibility, radiative balance and health, as well as the effects of atmospheric nitrogen and carbonaceous material on haze, climate change, and the nitrogen deposition on ecosystems. In addition to a strong technical program, this conference also features courses, an excursion to Bryce Canyon National Park, star gazing, networking opportunities, and a vendor exhibit.
