Welcome to the wonder world of AEROSOLS! Aerosols are a lot more than just products that come out of a spray can!  The word aer·o·sol (êr“…-sôl”, -säl”) is defined as a gaseous suspension of fine solid or liquid particles.

Our group, the Aerosol and Air Quality Research Laboratory (AAQRL) is housed in the Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering Department, Washington University in St. Louis. We are involved in research and education related to particulate matter. We invite you to take a virtual tour and learn more about us, and the exciting field of Aerosol Science and Engineering.
