  3. A colloidal suspension of particles dispersed in air or gas

  1. a cloud of solid or liquid particles in a gas
  2. a dispenser that holds a substance under pressure and that can release it as a fine spray (usually by means of a propellant gas)
  3. Technically, an aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in a gas. Examples are smoke, oceanic haze, air pollution, smog and CS gas. In general conversation, aerosol usually refers to an aerosol spray can or the output of such a can. ...
  4. A gaseous or airborne cloud of particulate matter, either as a solid, liquid, or gas, which forces another substance out of a spray can; A colloidal system in which the dispersed phase is composed of either solid or liquid particles and in which the dispersal medium is some gas, usually air; In ...
  5. (Aerosols) A collection of airborne solid or liquid particles, with a typical size between 0.01 and 10 µm that reside in the atmosphere for at least several hours. Aerosols may be of either natural or anthropogenic origin. ...
  6. (Aerosols) Tiny solid or liquid particles that are suspended in the atmosphere.
  7. (Aerosols) A fine mist or spray that contains minute particles and may contain microorganisms.
  8. (Aerosols) Cloud droplets or raindrops combining with gaseous pollutants, such as oxides of sulfur or nitrogen, to make falling rain (or snow) acidic (pH less than 5.6). If fog droplets combine with such pollutants it becomes acid fog.Tiny suspended solid particles (dust, smoke, etc. ...
  9. (Aerosols) microscopic particles originating from both natural sources (e.g., volcanoes) and human activities (e.g., coal burning).
  10. (Aerosols) small liquid and solid particles, that remain suspended in the atmosphere. Their sources vary – some natural, like dust storms and volcanic activity, and some caused by human activities, like fossil fuel and biomass burning.
  11. Aerosols commonly refer to aerosol sprays (or spray cans) which are a type of canister that sprays an aerosol. Some examples are: hairsprays, spray paints, electronic equipment cleaners, emergency horns, insecticides and deodorants. ...

  17. A mist of very fine particles, either liquid or solid, suspended in air or another gas. Volatile organic compounds can contribute to the formation of aerosols.
  18. System of fine solid or liquid particles (<39 µm diam.) dispersed in a gas. Aerosol cans using an inert compressed propellant are a common means of dispensing insecticides for domestic use. See also nebulisation.
  19. a fine mist; an aerosolized drug is administered as a fine spray that is inhaled into the lungs.
  20. refers to small suspended particles in a gas. They range in size from one nanometer (one billionth of a meter) to 100 micrometers (one millionth of a meter).
  21. Fine aerial suspension of liquid (mist, fog) or solid (dust, fume, smoke) particles small enough to be stable.
