The event themed "Accelerating action for clean air, clean energy access and climate change mitigation" will highlight evidence-based, coordinated multi-sectoral solutions in cities, countries and regions to prevent communicable and noncommunicable disease, save lives, protect child health and limit climate change across the world.

Each day is packed with engaging discussions around key themes:
✅ Day 1: Strong Evidence – The science behind air pollution and health

The IGAC SSC meeting in 2019 included a facilitated future visioning exercise. This is the result of that exercise. 

Arielle Milkman is a cultural anthropologist completing a PhD at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Arielle researches wildland fire management in the Pacific Northwest and has focused on qualitative and mixed-methods inquiry related to wildland firefighters’ health and well-being. She has used semi-structured interviews and low-cost air sensors to better understand wildfire smoke. In December 2024, Arielle will begin a postdoctoral fellowship at Colorado State University to further research in this area.

Background:

Emmie Le Roy is a PhD candidate in atmospheric chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her research focuses on the interactions between climate variability and atmospheric composition using a combination of models and in-situ observations. Emmie received her ScB in Geology and Chemistry from Brown University in 2019. Before starting her PhD, she worked as a laboratory assistant for the Surface PARTiculate mAtter Network (SPARTAN), a global ground-based measurement network for PM2.5.

The 16th International Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry and Global Pollution (iCACGP) Symposium and 18th International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) Science Conference (iCACGP-IGAC Conference 2024) is scheduled to take place at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTC KL) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 9th to 13th September 2024.

Citizen science (CS) involves public participation and collaboration in scientific research to increase scientific knowledge. Despite its potential, producing CS collected data that is perceived as trustworthy enough to be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and influence policy-making remains a challenge, in part due to issues involving data accuracy and standardisation. For example, the use of mobile field sensors in CS provides us with the opportunity to monitor air quality at a higher spatial resolution, but requires more thorough data analysis.

The 7th International Workshop on Heterogeneous Kinetics Related to Atmospheric
Aerosols will take place on October 18-21, 2024, at Qingdao campus, Shandong
University.
