Every 7 September, the United Nations’ International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies calls on governments, businesses and individuals to accelerate action on air quality and climate together. This year’s observance highlights the economic and public-health case for integrated action — clean air is not only a health imperative, but a foundation for resilient

The first scientific paper based on EASVOLEE campaign measurements provides new evidence that vehicles can be an important source of gas-phase volatile methyl siloxanes (VMS), with implications for urban air quality and emission inventories. A new study published in Environmental Science & Technology Letters presents the first speciated measurements of gas-phase volatile methyl siloxanes (VMS)

Friday, 5 June 2026 On 5 June 2026, the world marks World Environment Day, the United Nations’ flagship initiative for encouraging global awareness and action for the protection of the environment. This year’s observance comes at a critical moment, as governments, researchers, industries, and communities are called upon to accelerate climate action and strengthen resilience

The EASVOLEE project successfully participated in the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2026, held from 3 to 8 May 2026 in Vienna, Austria, and online. As one of Europe’s leading scientific events in the field of geosciences and atmospheric research, EGU2026 provided an important platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and dissemination of innovative research.

The EASVOLEE consortium met in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 4–5 March 2026 for the project’s Annual Meeting and General Assembly. Hosted by the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), the meeting brought together partners from across the consortium to assess the project’s progress and coordinate upcoming activities. Over two days of discussions, partners presented updates on

On Thursday, October 9, EASVOLEE had the pleasure of participating in an exciting learning expedition organized by ONLYLYON Invest, alongside our partner IRCELYON (Institut de Recherches sur la Catalyse et l’Environnement de Lyon, CNRS). During the event, Dr. Christian George and his research team presented EASVOLEE’s cutting-edge air quality research in an immersive session at

August 21–22, 2025 — EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland As part of ongoing coordination efforts within Work Package 3 (WP3) of the EASVOLEE project, Prof. Yinon Rudich from the Weizmann Institute of Science visited the Laboratory of Atmospheric Processes and their Impacts (LAPI), led by Prof. Athanasios Nenes at EPFL/FORTH, for a two-day scientific exchange with researchers

The EASVOLEE project successfully participated in the European Aerosol Conference (EAC) 2025, held from August 31 to September 5 in Lecce, Italy. The event brought together around 1,100 participants from across the globe, providing a lively forum for discussions on cutting-edge research in aerosol science and technology, with particular focus on air quality, atmospheric processes,

The 7th of September is the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, also marked globally as #CleanAirDay, and EASVOLEE stands at the forefront of Europe’s effort to combat air pollution and protect public health. The awareness day was established by the United Nations Environment Programme, following UN General Assembly resolution 74/212, to highlight

On Wednesday, 10 December 2025, the EASVOLEE and PAREMPI projects will co-organize a policy workshop on transport emissions in Brussels, Belgium. The upcoming workshop will highlight the both project’s main findings and encourage dialogue on advancing clean air initiatives, particularly in shaping future air quality policies.
