Theme 2 workshop: Biological Particulate Matter Sampling and Characterisation

Biological Particulate Matter Sampling and Characterisation (Theme 2)

03 February 2021, 13:30-15:30 (GMT)

BioAirNet is organising the first thematic workshop on Biological Particulate Matter (BioPM) sampling and characterisation theme. The event will primarily focused on exploring the knowledge gaps along with barriers and opportunities for sampling, detection and characterisation of BioPM in different indoor-outdoor scenarios.

During the interactive online session you will hear from leaders in BioPM sampling and analysis discipline and requirement from industry and regulators, offering diverse perspectives to facilitate the translation of advances in fundamental science into technological solutions.

We are keen to involve participants from diverse background and interest advancing our understanding of the factors that shape and support healthy natural and built environments with a key focus on BioPM.
