Abstract

An aerosol is a suspension of particles, either solid or liquid, in a gaseous medium, usually air. Smoke, fog, and dust clouds are aerosols. Aerosols may be generated in which the particles are viruses, bacteria, pollens, spores, liquids, or chemicals either powdered or in solution. Particle size may vary from a small aggregate of molecules (submicronic) to particles over 50 µ in diameter.
