Liquid Aerosol
What is Liquid Aerosol?
A liquid aerosol is a colloidal dispersion of fine liquid droplets suspended in a gas (typically air), such as fog, mist, or spray. The droplets are small enough (typically 0.001–100 µm in diameter) to remain suspended for extended periods due to Brownian motion and air currents. Liquid aerosols are important in atmospheric chemistry, drug delivery (inhalers), spray coatings, and industrial processes.
