Aerosol is the designation given to small particles of a liquid or solid that are suspended in the air in the form of a gas.
This word is formed by "aero", which means "air" and "sun" refers to a solution. That is, aerosol is a solution that is dispersed in the air.
As for the correct pronunciation of this word it is aerosol (like the word sun) and not "aerozole".
Many people have doubts between aerosol or aerosol. Despite this, the correct form is aerosol, not aerosol.
An aerosol can be solid or liquid. Liquid aerosols are for example: clouds, mists or deodorants. Solids are smoke and dust, for example.
aerosol therapy
Aerosol therapy consists of administering water particles to the airways. These water particles can contain some type of medication or not. This process takes place through the nebulization and so it is also known by that name. It is often used in people with respiratory problems, such as bronchitis.
This procedure serves to hydrate the airways or to help eliminate viscous excretions or in cases of inflammation.
In the treatment of aerosol therapy, medications such as: antibiotics (to fight infections), mucolytics (to dissolve secretions), anti-inflammatory and bronchodilators (help to open the bronchi, facilitating the uptake of oxygen in the lungs).
Aerosols are often metered, that is, they have a device that allows you to give the right dose that the person needs. One metered dose aerosol it is very common in people with asthma.
Atmospheric aerosol
Atmospheric aerosols are solid and liquid particles found in the atmosphere. They can have direct and indirect effects on the climate, such as lower temperatures or changes in the hydrological cycle. Consequently, they can also affect human health.
Clouds are formed by aerosols, ie particles. Other elements are formed by aerosols, such as smoke, dust, fog, etc.
