From the 20-23rd March 2018, a three day Sino-German Symposium on “Bridging Aerosol Chemistry and Health Effects: Challenges and Opportunities for Analytical Chemistry“, was held at Jinan University, in Guangzhou. The symposium was organised exceptionally well by the host Prof. Li Xue, from Jinan University and Prof. Ralf Zimmerman from the University of Rostock, Germany.  In addition to scientists from Germany and China, there were invited presenters from USA, Finland, Sweden, Luxembourg and Australia. A number of ACC-AQSM members participated and presented, such as Professors: Zoran Ristovski (ILAQH, QUT), Chak Chan (City University of HK), Hai Guo (HK PolyU), Hai-Dong Kan (FDU), and Maosheng Yao (PKU). This was an excellent opportunity for air-pollution scientists from China and Germany to get together, present their latest findings and exchange ideas. Current status of international research on aerosol chemistry and environmental health was discussed. A total of 54 experts presented their findings on aerosol chemistry and health effects. A group photo of the participants is shown below. For more information, please visit the Symposium website.
