August 31, 2026 — The 12th International Aerosol Conference (IAC 2026) officially opened today at the Xi’an Qujiang International Conference Center. Under the theme “Breathe the Same Air, Share a Common Fate,” this marks the first IAC to be held in China and also coincides with the 40th anniversary of the International Aerosol Research Association (IARA) — dual milestones that have drawn global attention to this academic gathering.
As a Diamond Sponsor of the conference, Palas® is presenting its integrated measurement solutions covering a wide particle size range from micro to nano at Booth A31/A38 in Area A (Central Hall). The conference runs through September 5. We cordially invite aerosol researchers and industry experts from around the world to visit our booth for in-depth discussions on application-specific scenarios and to explore diversified solutions for aerosol measurement.

On the first day, the Palas® booth attracted considerable attention from attendees. The key products on display cover a wide range of applications — from urban air quality monitoring to ultrafine particle measurement — and drew strong interest from researchers and industry professionals alike, thanks to their reliable measurement performance and flexible configuration.
