Recognising the need for research on impact of aerosols in several critical areas pertaining
to climate change, public health and agriculture, several integrated national programmes
have been initiated. Such programmes bring together the researchers working in common
areas thus enhancing the research capabilities of the individual institutes. In the context of
global climate change, the role of black carbon aerosols, which is a component of atmospheric
aerosols, has gained utmost importance due to its high absorption characteristics which
affects radiative forcing. This calls for studies on quantification of its various regional
sources such as bio-fuels, bio-mass burning, diesel engines combustion of coal etc. A yet
emerging sub-discipline is the nanoparticle science and technology with applications in
microelectronics, space research, medicine and environment. The research in this area is
significantly different from classical areas of aerosol research. The differences lie not only in
the formation mechanisms but also in the potential applications. This topic is fast catching
up in the national institutes and several specific centres for nanoparticle science and
technology have emerged with opportunities for collaboration with internationally-famed
institutes.
This bulletin is a compendium of such related works presented by the researchers during the
three day deliberations under the aegis of the conference organized by Indian Aerosol Science
and Technology Association (IASTA) during December 2012. A healthy sign has been the
participation of a large number of young researchers and students from several national
institutes, universities and colleges. The wide spread in the areas of aerosol research is
brought out clearly in this bulletin indicative of the fact that the impact of aerosols is well
recognized. The invited talks by well-experienced researchers have tried to focus on some
important aspects which would be beneficial for all participants and readers.
It is hoped that the conference will result in national collaborations on various fields of
aerosol science and technology. This is an opportunity for the young researchers to interact
with their peers and gain deeper insights into the evolving regimes of the subject. IASTA is
happy that it has been able to provide such a forum for the past several years wherein
various institutes working towards diverse applications of aerosol science have come under
a cover to establish long-standing research collaborations.
On behalf of the Organising Committee and the Technical Programme Committee, I wish
the participants a very fruitful stay at Mumbai during this conference!
