About JAAST
The Japan Association of Aerosol Science and Technology (JAAST) wasfounded in 1983 and is the oldest association for aerosol research in Asia.
JAAST aims to promote science and communicate technologicaladvancement in all fields of aerosol research for the scientific community.
The association had around 500 individual and student members, and 40
