Day two at IAC 2026 in Xi'an
The 12th International Aerosol Conference opened yesterday at the Xi'an Qujiang International Conference Center — the first IAC ever held in China, and coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the International Aerosol Research Association.
As a Diamond Sponsor, Palas is presenting integrated measurement solutions covering the full range from micro to nano particles at booth A31/A38 in Area A, Central Hall. Day one brought a steady stream of visitors and a lot of substantive conversation — thank you to everyone who stopped by.
Earlier today, Volker Ziegler presented two contributions: a longterm test of an aerosol spectrometer for PM measurement under harsh meteorological conditions in Finland, and a study on road salting effects on particle number concentration and mass in an Austrian town. Thank you to everyone who joined.
