The international air quality conference comes to Chile for the first time

ASIC LATAM 2026 is the Latin American edition of the Air Sensors International Conference (ASIC), organized by the UC Davis Air Quality Research Center (AQRC). For the first time in the region, this event will bring together researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, and international organizations to tackle critical challenges in air quality monitoring and management.

The conference will take place in Santiago, Chile, from November 2–5, 2026, positioning Latin America as a key region for advancing data-driven solutions.

A program focused on applied science

The ASIC LATAM 2026 program is designed to connect cutting-edge research with real-world applications, covering topics such as:

• Air quality sensor networks and data systems
• Particulate matter characterization and atmospheric chemistry
• Data validation, satellite–ground integration, and modeling
• Exposure, public health, and environmental equity
• Industrial applications, real-time monitoring, and episodic event management
• Translating data into policy and decision-making

The program aims to strengthen the link between data generation, scientific insight, and its use in regulatory and management contexts.

Field-based learning

A distinctive feature of ASIC LATAM is the integration of field trips, giving participants the opportunity to see firsthand how monitoring systems and environmental solutions are implemented across different settings.

These experiences include:

• Operational monitoring stations and sensor networks
• Case studies in industrial and urban environments
• Community-based monitoring initiatives
• Natural environments relevant to atmospheric dynamics
