Welcome to the wonder world of AEROSOLS!
The
word aerosol is defined as a gaseous suspension of fine solid or liquid
particles.
Aerosols are a lot more than just products that come out of a spray can! They find application
in nanoparticle technology, pharmaceuticals, medicine, electronics, advanced
materials, air pollution control, atmospheric issues, global climate, energy and
environmental technologies.
Our group, the Aerosol and Air Quality Research Laboratory (AAQRL) is
housed in the Department of Energy,
Environmental and Chemical Engineering at
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.
