      The Asian Aerosol Research Assembly promotes the advancement of aerosol science within the countries in the Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Biennially, it organizes a high level of three to four days Conference focusing on fundamental research and application of aerosol science, industrial applications, air quality and climate change. This year's conference will be held in Jeju, Korea from July 2 to 6, 2017. Generally several hundred participants within the region, Europe and the USA will attend, presenting a wide range of scientific papers and posters at the Conference. There will also be presentations for the Asian Young Aerosol Scientist Award, and Asian Aerosol Fellow Award to honor outstanding scientists. This is a great opportunity for the host country to showcase its aerosol research community and offer great educational opportunity for the local people, especially graduate students to communicate and network with well-known researchers, conveniently and inexpensively. In the past, the host country’s aerosol organization capitalized on the Conference to increase awareness and support within its country by inviting the government ministry and officials, industries representatives to sponsor and attend this Conference. Along with the Conference, a product and information exhibition is also held. Participants can visit the exhibition to see the state-of-the-art instruments or information and talk with the company representatives. This exhibition is also an excellent and cost effective way for local companies to introduce themselves and their products to an international audience and customers.

      Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Our RRPs are smoke-free products that produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
