28^th ETH Nanoparticles Conference 2025

The Nanoparticle Conference in 2025 (NPC-25) is organized as an on-site conference at the ETH Zürich. It serves as an interdisciplinary platform for expert discussions on all aspects of nanoparticles, freshly emitted from various sources, transformed in ambient air, distributed on local and global scale, on technical mitigation aspects, particle legislation, and impact of particles on health, environment, and climate. The conference brings together representatives from research, industry and government.

NPC-25 Focus Event Brake and Tyre Wear Particles

With the introduction of Euro-7 vehicle legislation both, combustion-related and non-combustion emissions such as wear particles from brakes and tyres are regulated for the first time. These new regulations have started initiatives to minimize e.g. brake wear particles with filter technology or remove toxic metals, fibers and compounds from brake and tyre materials. In addition, toxicology and health effects of these neglected particles are studied on large scale. All these aspects will be addressed in the 2025 focus event.

NPC-25 Health Session

The session will provide new experimental and epidemiological results about health consequences of exposure to combustion and non-combustion particles.
