The Indian Aerobiological Society (IAS) fosters research at the interface of health, agriculture, environment, and climate science. Through nationwide monitoring of pollen, fungi, and bioaerosols, we support allergy diagnostics, crop disease forecasting, forensic science, biodiversity studies, and air quality management. Our Indian Journal of Aerobiology disseminates original research, and our biennial conferences unite experts from botany, microbiology, pathology, medicineand atmospheric sciences.

To lead India’s sustainable future, we must adopt AI-enabled automated samplers, DNA metabarcoding, remote sensing, and real-time forecasting to create a National Aero-Data Grid. Future pathways include indoor and occupational bioaerosols, climate–health modeling, urban aerobiology, and biodefense applications, integrated with national missions on health, agriculture, and clean air.

Our flagship Indian Journal of Aerobiology shares cutting-edge work, while our biennial national conferences bring scientists, clinicians, and policymakers together.

With interdisciplinary collaboration and young researchers, IAS will ensure aerobiology delivers science for society.

With regards.
