The 12th International Aerosol Conference (IAC 2026) will be held from 30 August to 5 September 2026. The Scientific Steering Committee, General Conference Chair, and the Organizing Committee extend their warmest welcome to friends and colleagues from universities, institutes, organizations, and companies worldwide. The conference theme, “Breathe the same air, share a common fate”, underscores their shared commitment to advancing aerosol science for the betterment of society. The IAC 2026 promises to be an exciting and enriching experience, featuring a diverse program of plenary sessions, symposia, poster presentations, and networking opportunities. The organizers are assembling a distinguished group of speakers and experts who will share their insights and latest research findings in the field of atmospheric and aerosol sciences.

Riva del Garda, Italy
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Local Organising Committee, we want to warmly welcome you to Riva del Garda for Dioxin 2026—the 46th International Symposium on POPs and Related Pollutants.
The meeting will take place in Italy, 50 years after the Seveso disaster. Experts in the field of persistent organic pollutants and other related emerging pollutants can join and share their experiences with other colleagues. Let us learn from the past, analyse the present, and move towards a future our grandchildren deserve to experience.
Dioxin 2026 will be unique—not only for the beauty of the location but also because, for the first time, colleagues driving the Dioxin symposium and the flame retardants symposium (BFR) have decided to bring their respective events together. We are delighted to join forces for what promises to be an excellent joint meeting in a wonderful venue. Together, we will address global POP and related pollutant issues to tackle current human health and environmental challenges more efficiently. We are hopeful that you will take advantage of networking opportunities with delegates from both communities and will help to make our meetings special and memorable.
As expected, Dioxin/BFR 2026 will focus on the science of dioxins and BFRs but also additional POPs (e.g., PFAS) and other products, such as micro/nanoplastics. Together, we will share the latest major advances in analytical determination, the understanding of emission, transport, fate, degradation, toxic behaviour, regulations, along with the growing attention focused on developing countries and global pollution issues.
Up to 700 delegates are expected to register for the event, representing more than 500 abstracts (266 oral presentations and 240 posters), which will be presented in up to six parallel sessions during five days. In conjunction with the symposia, there will be an exhibition involving instrumentation, chemical products, accessories, analytical companies, scientific journals, legal entities, research centres, etc.
Surrounded by mountains and with some of the most picturesque views of Lake Garda, Riva del Garda brings together the best of Nordic hospitality with the Italian Riviera lifestyle. We will ensure that attendees enjoy the area of Riva del Garda and its surroundings through multiple types of activities, whether cultural or gastronomic, as active wellness boosts productivity and creativity.
We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to be part of Dioxin/BFR 2026, and to gain from the interactions with students, academics, and science professionals from around the world.
