Aerosol = Any mixture of solid particles and/or liquid droplets distributed in a gas phase. Examples include mist and deodorant spray. Even humans create an aerosol by sneezing. While smoke contains solid particles, liquid droplets, and thousands of chemicals, aerosol is much less complex and contains no solid particles. #AerosolScience #MythBusting #BustingMyths | PMIScience | Facebook

Aerosols are small but powerful and include everything from desert dust, sea salt from ocean spray, volcanic ash, smoke from wildfires, and emissions from the burning of coal and oil. These tiny particles affect weather and climate, cause hazy skies, and can pose serious health hazards. Aerosols also can act as sites for chemical reactions, such as those that lead to the destruction of stratospheric ozone, i.e the ozone hole.
