5. Aerosol
   Air suspension of solid or liquid particles having a volume median diameter of less than 50 µm. Aerosol sprays are principally used for drift spraying against flying insects. The small size of the droplets or particles allow entry to the body via the respiratory tract and readily contaminates clothing, skin and eyes.

12. aerosol
    Aerosols are colloidal dispersions of liquid or solid particles in a gas, as in a mist or smoke. The commonly used aerosol sprays contain an inert propellant liquefied under pressure. The pressure of the gas causes the mixture to be released as a fine spray (aerosol) or foam (aerogel) when a valve is opened.
