The American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR) is holding its 37th annual conference on October 14-18th at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland Oregon. Grantees from the Chemistry of Indoor Environments program will be presenting results in multiple platform and poster sessions. In addition, there will be a Sloan-sponsored symposium on “The air we breathe: indoor aerosol sources and chemistry” which will feature four platform sessions and one poster session taking place all day on Thursday and Friday, October 17th and 18th.
