Examples of artificial aerosols are haze, smoke, smog, and air pollution. Aerosols can also refer to products packed under pressure with a propellant for release as a spray.

2. aerosol

   An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles, liquid droplets or both in a gas, such as the atmosphere. These tiny particles can be naturally occurring, like those from volcanic eruptions or dust storms, or human-made, such as those from pollution. Typically, aerosols are small enough to stay suspended in the atmosphere for a period of time before gradually settling down due to gravity. They can have various effects on human health, climate, and the environment.
