Registration and abstract submission for the 18th International Congress on Combustion By-Products and Their Health Effects (PIC2024) will open in two weeks!  Please mark your calendars. 

This year, PIC2024 will be held in Durham, NC, USA on the Duke University campus, May 19-22nd, 2024.  The main theme of PIC2024 is “Fire Emissions & Community Impacts at the Wildland Urban Interface and Disaster Sites”.

The Congress is held every two years with the goal to provide an international, multidisciplinary forum to discuss topics on the origins, fate, and health effects of combustion. Combustion is defined in a wide sense, including all forms of thermal treatment of fuel materials and hazardous substances. This field has gained significant relevance due to the increasing need for mechanistic, diagnostic, and analytical answers to complex problems concerning exposure to combustion-derived hazardous air pollutants.

More information can be found at the Congress website: PIC2024.  We have a great line-up of plenary speakers that will address the theme of this meeting. 

We look forward to seeing you at PIC2024 in May of 2024.
