A first meeting, where also the first steps towards founding NOSA were taken, was held 1978 in Stockholm.
The first real NOSA scientific meeting was arranged in Göteborg in 1982.
Counting until the NOSA-2014 Aerosol Symposium, Sweden has hosted 14 NOSA meetings (including EAC 1988), Denmark 5 meetings, Finland 4 meetings, and Norway 4 meetings.
