This session invites presentations addressing aerosols, natural and anthropogenic, such as aeroallergens/pollen, dust, fly ash, particulate matter (PM) linked to health consequences including asthma cardiovascular health, skin and eye conditions, and the transmission of infectious diseases, including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. Studies addressing the interactions between aerosol exposures and human health; investigating changes to global aerosol production, variability, tracking, and forecasting; and those involving novel research methods (clinical, laboratory, epidemiological) are encouraged.
