CEM 2027

CEM Europe Conference & Exhibition is the International Conference and Exhibition dedicated to air quality and emission monitoring. First held in 1997 in the United Kingdom, CEM has grown into a globally recognised meeting point for regulators, industry experts, technology providers, and operators focused on measuring, managing, and improving industrial emissions and ambient air quality. One focus of the conference is air quality monitoring networks, which shows how pollution is tracked across cities, industrial regions, and sensitive environments. These networks combine fixed monitoring stations, mobile systems, and advanced sensor technologies to deliver continuous, high-resolution data on key pollutants such as NOx, SO₂, particulate matter, VOCs, and greenhouse gases. Increasingly, there is also an emphasis on emissions measurement at lower levels, as regulatory requirements tighten and detection limits improve. This includes the need for more sensitive instrumentation capable of identifying trace concentrations that were previously difficult to measure reliably.

Alongside traditional pollutants, CEM also addresses the growing importance of emerging contaminants, including substances such as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which are gaining regulatory and scientific attention due to their persistence in the environment and potential health impacts. As monitoring expectations evolve, the conference highlights how laboratories, regulators, and technology providers are adapting methods to detect and manage these complex compounds within broader air quality and environmental monitoring frameworks.

CEM will discuss the latest regulations, monitoring technologies, and best practices for tracking emissions from industrial processes and strengthening air quality networks that support evidence-based decision-making. Delegates and visitors gain practical insights into improving compliance, environmental performance, and data accuracy across a wide range of sectors.
