An aerosol is the suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets using a gas medium, medical aerosols in particular are used to dispense medicine to patients via gas inhalation.
Aerosol: A collection of tiny solid or liquid particles in the atmosphere that can come from natural sources (such as wildfires, dust storms, and volcanoes) or people’s activities (such as burning fossil fuels).

Aerosol: A suspended liquid or solid particle in a gas (e.g., air). A fine airborne suspension of particles sufficiently small in size to give some degree of stability from remains; i.e., fog or smoke, air freshener products.
aerosol - a suspension of small liquid or solid particles in gas.

Aerosol - 1. Small droplets or particles suspended in the atmosphere, typically containing sulfur. They are usually emitted naturally (e.g. in volcanic eruptions) and as the result of anthropogenic (human) activities such as burning fossil fuels.
Aerosol: Very small liquid or solid particles dispersed in air.
Affinity: The keenness with which an ion exchanger takes up and holds on to a counter-ion.
Aerosol Scavengers - Cloud droplets which attract an aerosol into snow, rain or some other water precipitate by coagulation and accretion.
Aerosol: Particles of solid or liquid matter that can remain suspended in air from a few minutes to many months depending on the particle size and weight.
aerosol
Mixture of small particles (solid, liquid or a mixed variety) and a carrier gas (usually air).
aerosol A suspension of fine solid or liquid particles in a gas, having small diamters ranging from 0.01 to 50 microns.
A aerosol
Definition (english only)
System of solid or liquid particles suspended in a gaseous medium, having a negligible falling velocity.
Aerosol sprays and refrigeration.
Arsenic and chlorine found in drinking water and inhaled in bathroom showers.
Dust and chemicals from farming, especially of erodible land, see Dust Bowl.
Fumes from paint, varnish, and other solvents.
Aerosol
A finely divided material suspended in air or other gaseous environment.

AC Aerosol cans.
AERATION The process of exposing compost material to air.
AL Aluminum.
Aerosol Suspended droplets of liquid or fine solid particles in air. Air Changes Per Hour (ACH) Number of times, per hour, an enclosure's total volume of air, equivalent to the volume of space, enters that space is exchanged.
aerosol Particulate material, other than water or ice, in the atmosphere ranging in size from approximately 10x-3 to larger than 10x2 ´m in radius.
In the past, CFCs were also used in aerosol spray cans, but that use was banned in the US in 1978.
Climate models, driven by estimates of increasing carbon dioxide and to a lesser extent by generally decreasing sulphate aerosols, predict temperatures will increase by between 1.4 and 5.8 °C in the period 1990 to 2100 [7].
ChloroFluroCarbons (CFC's) A common industrial product, used in refrigeration systems, air conditioners, aerosols, solvents and in the production of some types of packaging.
radiative forcing = instantaneous warming effect attributed to a concentration of greenhouse gases and aerosols in the atmosphere, measured in Watts per m2; due to CO2, methane (CH4), ...
They were first invented by DuPont Corporation in 1928 and have been widely used as refrigerants, as aerosol propellants, as cleaning solvents and in the manufacture of plastic foam.
Chlorofluorocarbons Synthetic organic compounds used for refrigerants, aerosol propellants (prohibited in the U.S.), and blowing agents in plastic foams. CFCs migrate to the upper atmosphere destroying ozone and increasing global warming.
Diffusion: The movement of gas molecules or aerosols into liquids, caused by a concentration gradient.
Digester: A closed tank for wastewater treatment, in which bacterial action is induced to break down organic matter.
CFCs / Chlorofluorocarbons
Chemicals used in products like aerosols and fridge.
Fossil Fuels
Fuels formed over a long time deep in the Earth from the remains of dead plants and animals. The main fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas.
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs): greenhouse gases formerly used in fridges, aerosols, etc, that are being phased out because they destroy the ozone layer.
Toxic Cloud- Airborne plume of gases, vapors, fumes, or aerosols containing toxic materials.
Toxic Concentration- The concentration at which a substance produces a toxic effect.
Toxic Dose- The dose level at which a substance produces a toxic effect.
Once used in the United States as a propellant for domestic aerosols, they are now found mainly in coolants and some industrial processes. FCs containing chlorine are called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
ozone-depleting gases: Ozone-depleting gases are CFCs, refrigerants, aerosols, solvents, methyl bromide fumigant, and halon.
monoculture: Monoculture is when farmers plant one type of crop only, with no variety.
A mechanical system using centrifugal force to remove aerosols from a gas stream or to remove water from sludge.

Particulate Matter (PM): A form of air pollution that includes soot, dust, dirt and aerosols.
A family of chemicals commonly used in air conditioners and refrigerators as coolants and also as solvents and aerosol propellants. CFCs drift into the upper atmosphere where their chlorine components destroy ozone.
A family of inert, nontoxic, and easily liquefied chemicals used in refrigeration, air conditioning, packaging, insulation, or as solvents and aerosol propellants.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs): A family of inert, nontoxic, and easily liquefied chemicals used in refrigeration, air conditioning, packaging, insulation, or as solvents and aerosol propellants.
Centrifugal Collector- A mechanical system using centrifugal force to remove aerosols from a gas stream or to remove water from sludge.
Commonly used in aerosol spray containers, in highway paint, for grease removal in manufacturing, dry cleaning, and other operations. The substituted chlorine makes the compound less flammable than the nonsubstituted equivalent, but more toxic.
It results from chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), chemicals used in refrigerator and freezer coils, aerosols, as well as automobile and commercial air conditioners, being released into the atmosphere.
Filter or Air Purifying Element: A component used in respirators to remove solid or liquid aerosols from the inspired air.
A colorless liquid that evaporates easily. It has been used as a metal cleaner, paint thinner, in wood stains, spot removers, fabric protectors, shoe polish and aerosol propellants. Mild exposure can cause skin and eye irritation ...
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently concluded that increased concentrations of greenhouse gases are causing an increase in the Earth's surface temperature and that increased concentrations of sulphate aerosols have led to ...
The stratospheric ozone layer is being destroyed by ozone depleting substances (ODS) which consist of chemicals found in fridges, aerosols and fire extinguishers and are also released through certain industrial processes.
